Château Malagar, sweet
AOC Premières Côtes de Bordeaux
Château Malagar, Côtes de Bordeaux, covers 5 ha of white grapes of south facing slopes along the river. This property formerly owned by 1952 Literature Nobel Price François Mauriac is a jewel of soft but powerful Bordeaux red and gorgeous whites. Jean Merlaut acquired the vineyard of the Malagar estate in 2004. Since then, he has worked with passion and energy to get the very best out of this terroir by rethinking a new relationship with the soil.
