Spanning across 30 hectares of chalky, gravel soil in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux you will find Château Malescot St Exupery. With vines at an age of 35 years and planted to a density of 10,000 vines per hectare and are aged in between 80% and 100% new French oak barrels for up to 16 months before bottling. The vines are a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
Tasting Notes:
“Grilled tobacco leaf and liquorice on the first nose, there is a flash of spiced heat to kick things off, reflecting what is a gourmet wine full of personality and big tannins. Cocoa bean and espresso alongside blackberry and hedgerow fruit give a generous, unfussy feel. Jean-Luc Zuger is owner at this estate, one of the first in the Médoc to use gravity-fed winemaking over a two-storey wine cellar right back in the 1870s.” Score: 92 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with white meats such as pork & veal.
