Malesan Cuvée Sélectionnée Bordeaux
An approachable Bordeaux with a classic profile: Merlot-dominated, aged for six months in oak barrels, for uncomplicated evenings without a long wait.
Malesan is the volume Bordeaux label of Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus , one of France's largest wine houses, based in Bordeaux. The Cuvée Sélectionnée demonstrates what good entry-level Bordeaux can achieve: straightforward fruit, expertly crafted, and ready to drink now.
In the glass, a deep ruby red with garnet highlights. On the nose, red plums, blackberry, and a subtle vanilla note from the oak barrel. On the palate, soft tannins, medium body, fruity, and a rounded finish.
Serving suggestion: Serve at 16–18 °C. Pairs well with duck breast with red wine jus, pasta with meat sauce, or strong semi-hard cheese. Not for long-term cellaring—drink now.

Voluminous and powerful Bordeaux
I still had a few bottles of Malesan vintage 2001 which tastes voluminous and powerful, especially in the finish. The 2019 vintage I just reordered will probably tend in this direction after a few years of rest. But even as a youngster (...

Quick answers
How does the Malesan Cuvée Sélectionnée taste?
Soft tannins, medium body, red plums, and blackberry in the foreground — plus a subtle vanilla tone from the six-month oak barrel aging. The finish is fruity and round, without rough edges.
Is the wine dry?
Yes, the Malesan Cuvée Sélectionnée is vinified dry. The fruit seems juicy due to the soft tannins and round body, without residual sugar.
What does the Malesan pair best with?
Classically with lamb, veal, or a good steak. Duck breast with red wine jus or pasta with meat sauce also work well — anything that can handle some structure and fruit in the glass.
At what temperature should I serve the wine?
Best served at 16–18 °C — which is slightly cooler than room temperature. If the wine has been stored at room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes shortly before serving.
How long can I store the Malesan?
The wine is designed for uncomplicated drinking, not for long-term storage. It is best opened within the next few months — once opened, it will keep for two to three days in the refrigerator with a wine stopper.
What is the story behind the Malesan label?
Malesan is the volume Bordeaux label from Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus, one of France's largest wine houses based in Bordeaux. The Cuvée Sélectionnée represents well-crafted Bordeaux in the entry-level segment — without compromising on the winemaking process.
The Domaine
It would have been easier to rest on safe values. But the Castell family thinks further ahead. They preserve the know-how, pass the passion on to the next generation, and maintain their châteaus and domains – with joy and foresight.
For them, wine is more than a product: It is about culture. About sharing knowledge, about exchange with chefs, sommeliers, and everyone who loves taste. Producing country wines and Grands Crus is one thing. The other: not keeping anything to themselves.
Sustainable, responsible, and with heart. Because at Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus, they live by the conviction that wine must follow its ideas. Persistent, courageous, and with a flame that carries on – from generation to generation.
