Château Malescot 3ème Grand Cru Margaux

Château Malescot St. Exupéry is one of the classic Margaux addresses that Bordeaux drinkers should know: a 3ème Grand Cru Classé with roots in the 17th century, today in the hands of the Zuger family. The Margaux appellation stands for Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wines with special elegance — fine tannin structure and a depth that the gravelly subsoil of the left Garonne side shapes.

The 2018 shows dark ruby red with a violet shimmer. On the nose, black cherry, plum, and licorice, underscored by mocha tones and dark spice. On the palate, powerful but ripe tannins, fresh acidity as a backbone, and a long, juicy finish with a hint of smoke. The wine needs air — opening it in a decanter for at least two hours makes a noticeable difference. Wine Spectator rates the vintage with 93–96 points.

Serving temperature 17–18 °C. Pairs with braised lamb shoulder, entrecôte with herb butter, or ripe Comté.
