Helen Mirren enjoys Château Malartic-Lagravière

The American Cinematheque has honoured Helen Mirren as the 37th recipient of the American Cinematheque Award with the actor signing a bottle of Château Malartic-Lagravière for charity.

In addition to Mirren, Kevin Goetz and Screen Engine received the Power of Cinema Award presented by Hill Valley at the prestigious event on 15 February.

Since 2019 Château Malartic-Lagravière has been the wine sponsor of the awards, and again this year the A-list entertainment industry had the opportunity to enjoy Château Malartic-Lagravière’s wines, including Château Malartic Red, 2013, and White, 2019, at the cocktail reception and the gala dinner during the tribute.

Helen Mirren also signed a special engraved magnum of the Château Malartic-Lagravière 2016 red vintage to benefit her charity organisation of choice, Meals on Wheels West.

The magnum will be displayed at the winery, along with the signed magnums of previous American Cinematheque honorees Ryan Reynolds in 2022, Scarlett Johansson in 2021 and
Charlize Theron in 2019.

Since 1986, the American Cinematheque Award has been presented annually to an extraordinary artist currently making a significant contribution to the art of the moving picture.

Château Malartic-Lagravière is no stranger to the silver screen. Last year, they were the official wine sponsor of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The iconic wine family was also involved in the Tribeca Festival last year, and can be seen on screen in Emily in Paris and Death on the Nile.

Château Malartic-Lagravière

The Bonnie Family’s wine journey began a little over two decades ago when the Belgian couple, Alfred and Michèle Bonnie, bought Château Malartic-Lagravière, Grand Cru Classé de Graves in Léognan, near Bordeaux.

Since then, their children Véronique and Jean-Jacques have led Malartic Estates with the addition of Château Gazin Rocquencourt (Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux) and Bodega Diam Andes (Mendoza, Argentina).

With a sustainable approach, they are looking for the unique expression of each terroir, a perfect balance and a gourmet complexity, that make them the perfect allies of gastronomy.
