The Malescot St-Exupéry 2019 is a richly textured yet finely balanced expression from an outstanding Bordeaux vintage. The nose reveals layers of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, violet, and sweet spice, accented by cedar and subtle graphite. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and polished, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity creating harmony and lift. Flavors of cassis, dark plum, cocoa, and savory mineral tones unfold with depth and continuity. The texture is plush but controlled, reflecting the vintage’s concentration without heaviness. The finish is long, smooth, and aromatic—an elegant, expressive Margaux with excellent aging potential and immediate appeal.
Chateau Malescot St Exupery Description
Château Malescot St-Exupéry is a Third Growth estate in Margaux with a reputation for producing wines of richness, polish, and expressive charm. Owned by the Zuger family since the 1950s, the château has steadily elevated quality through meticulous vineyard management and refined cellar practices. The estate’s gravelly soils favor Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and small portions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Winemaking emphasizes ripe fruit, supple tannins, and generous texture while maintaining Margaux’s hallmark elegance. Malescot is often noted for being more opulent than some of its peers, without sacrificing structure. In strong vintages, it delivers depth with unmistakable aromatic finesse.
