Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry, Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux 3. Cru, 2022

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry is a poised and expressive Third Growth Margaux, offering the refinement of classic Bordeaux with a distinctly personal signature. With roots dating back to 1697 and the dedication of the Zuger family since 1955, it has become one of the appellation’s most characterful estates, producing wines of precision, depth, and elegance from just 28 hectares of vineyards.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage shows a deep, concentrated color and an immediately polished, focused profile. Aromas of dark berries and sun-ripened fruit are joined by a subtle hint of white pepper and spice, giving the bouquet both warmth and lift. On the palate, the wine is silky yet structured, with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity, and impressive balance between richness and finesse. The finish is long and refined, with layers of floral, spicy, and dark fruit nuances that suggest excellent aging potential over the next 15–25 years.

Production
The estate’s small vineyard area in Margaux lends itself to careful, terroir-driven winemaking, with an emphasis on purity and precision rather than volume. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot reflects the gravelly Bordeaux terroir and contributes to the wine’s combination of structure, fruit depth, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a fine match for classic Bordeaux pairings such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or game with earthy accompaniments like mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking now to allow the wine to open and show its full aromatic range.
