Château Malartic-Lagravière Tasting with Véronique Bonnie
Saturday June 14, 2025 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Please join us in welcoming Véronique Bonnie — President of Vignobles Malartic and Co-Manager of Château Malartic-Lagravière in Pessac-Léognan — for an incredible Bordeaux tasting at the Princeton Corkscrew on Saturday, June 14th from 1 – 6 pm. A double treat… Véronique is one of the most influential women in Bordeaux today and Malartic-Lagravière is one of the premier estates — not only in Graves, but in all of Bordeaux — consistently receiving scores in the mid-to-high 90s over the last two decades-plus.
Located at the gates of Bordeaux, Château Malartic-Lagravière is located on the oldest winegrowing terroir in the region. The estate, which resides on the most beautiful hillside of Graves, became a Classified Growth in the 1959 Classification of Graves… only one of 16 chateaux in the region to receive the honor and one of only six to be classified for both their reds and whites.
Domaine de Lagravière was purchased in 1803 by Pierre de Malartic and was renamed to Malartic-Lagravière in the 1850s after Pierre’s uncle, a French colonial governor and Navy admiral, which is signified by the boat in their logo. In 1996, the property was acquired by Alfred-Alexandre and Michèle Bonnie, who invested nearly $20M to renovate and modernize the estate. From vineyard replanting and expansion to meticulously renovating the château, the Bonnies spared no expense. Today, the Château is managed by Alfred-Alexandre and Michèle’s daughter Véronique and son Jean-Jacques and his wife Séverine. The property consists of 73 hectares of vines in soils composed of fine gravel, shell limestone and clay, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for their reds and Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for their whites. The vineyards are tended with a broad agro-ecological philosophy with sustainability being a key focus since 1997 (HVE certification was earned in 2015).
Come out to the shop anytime between 1 – 6 pm on Saturday, June 14th for this must-attend event. Véronique will be with us all afternoon to answer any of your questions as we feature a wonderful lineup of Malartic-Lagravière’s stellar wines. This is certain to be another amazing Saturday tasting at the Corkscrew, so be sure to invite your friends!
We hope to see you here!
