Château Malescot-Saint-Exupéry

Château Malescot-Saint-Exupéry

The Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry was already producing wine in the early 17th century. It was first named Château Malescot when Maître Simon Malescot, King's Councillor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, acquired it in 1697.

Then in 1827, it was the Compte de Saint-Exupéry's turn to own the property and add his name to it. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, famous French aviator and writer, was one of his descendants.

The Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry was named Troisième Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification, and passed into the hands of the Zuger family a century later.

The 28-hectare vineyard is planted on fine clay-limestone and gravel terroirs, and is made up of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. A Second wine is produced, La Dame de Malescot.

Having long since regained its letters of nobility, the Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry offers harmonious, fruity and expressive wines, illustrating the beauty of the Margaux terroir.

Description La Dame de Malescot 2012.

This Second vin du Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry comes from vines neighboring that of the illustrious Château Margaux. The wines, crafted with the utmost care, boast fine, expressive profiles and a delicate texture. Dame de Malescot 2012, with its deep ruby color, soon reveals a refined nose with notes of vanilla, roasting and caramel. Black fruits such as blackberry appear after aeration. On the palate, after a supple attack, the wine is dense. The tannins are tight and perfectly accompany intense fruity aromas.
