Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry Château Malescot Saint Exupéry

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry is a classic Margaux Grand Cru Classé with finesse, power, and a very elegant character. As a 3rd Grand Cru Classé from 1855, it embodies the fusion of Cabernet Sauvignon structure and Merlot smoothness, supported by small, refined proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which lend it depth and playfulness.

In the glass, it displays a deep, dark ruby ​​red with fine garnet reflections. The nose is very typical of Margaux: cassis, ripe cherry, a touch of blackberry, along with floral nuances, cedar, tobacco, and a light mineral note reminiscent of the gravelly Médoc soils. The oak aging is noticeable but remains elegant, acting more as a frame than a backdrop.

On the palate, Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry is dense yet exceptionally refined, with fine, silky tannins, a good balance between fruit and acidity, and a long, rounded finish with notes of wild berries, light spice, and a hint of chocolate. At around 13.5–14.5% ABV, it pairs ideally with premium roast beef or lamb, game dishes, or a fine, mature cheese, and is a Bordeaux where elegance and vibrancy are not mutually exclusive.

The Château

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry carries two great names – and a history that reaches back to the 17th century. In 1697, Maître Simon Malescot, advisor to King Louis XIV, gave the estate its first name. In 1827, Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry was added – great-grandfather of the writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Since 1955, the Château has been in the hands of the Zuger family, who have built it up from seven to today's 28 hectares in the Margaux appellation. Jean-Luc Zuger leads the winery in the third generation with the ambition to preserve history and pass on quality.
