Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Château Malescot St. Exupéry is a first-class winery in Margaux, one of the most prestigious appellations in Bordeaux. Founded in the 17th century, it has since earned an excellent reputation for its elegant, complex wines. The estate owns approximately 25 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with the classic Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wines from Malescot St. Exupéry are particularly known for their finesse, depth, and long-aging potential.

The château's vineyard work is carried out with the utmost precision. The vineyards are planted on the typical Margaux soils, characterized by a mixture of gravel, clay, and limestone. These soils promote the creation of wines with complex aromatics and well-integrated tannins. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected in small containers. Vinification is traditional, with a long maceration to preserve aromatic depth and structure. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, approximately 60-70% of which are new, lending the wines additional complexity and subtlety.

The wines of Château Malescot St. Exupéry are characterized by their seductive fruit, with notes of black currants, cherries, and blackberries, combined with elegant spicy and floral aromas. The tannins are fine and polished, giving the wine a silky texture, while the fresh acidity ensures a long and balanced finish. The wines possess excellent aging potential and often reach their peak after 15-20 years.

The Grand Vin, Château Malescot St. Exupéry , in particular, is a prime example of the elegance and complexity of the Margaux style. It is consistently ranked among Bordeaux's finest wines and offers great enjoyment both in its youth and after several years of aging.
