Château Malescot Saint Exupéry
Château Malescot Saint Exupéry Margaux 3cc. 2018 0,75l
Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry is a Third Growth in the centre of Margaux, with parcels adjoining those of Château Margaux itself. Around 28 hectares of vines grow on Pyrenean gravel over chalk or marl that slopes gently towards the Gironde. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot make up the blend. Hand-picked grapes are vinified plot by plot and the wine is aged for up to sixteen months in a high proportion of new French oak. The bouquet reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and plum with violet, graphite, spice and a hint of smoke. On the palate Malescot Saint-Exupéry is plush and silky yet vibrant, with ripe tannins, juicy fruit and a long, refined, spicy finish.
Barrique ageing on the fine lees supports the dense structure and integrates fine oak and spice notes.
