Malescot Saint Exupery 3ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2018

Château Malescot Saint Exupéry 2018 is a refined Margaux from one of Bordeaux’s historic Third Growth estates, offering the elegance and perfume the appellation is known for. Built on a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, it combines structure, finesse, and depth in a style that captures both the charm and prestige of Margaux.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby core with a polished, luminous edge. The nose is expressive and layered, with blackcurrant, ripe plum, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, often joined by touches of graphite and finely woven oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and a balanced, fresh line of acidity. Dark berry fruit, floral notes, and earthy-mineral complexity unfold धीरे gradually, finishing with length and precision. The 2018 vintage has the structure to age gracefully for well over a decade, and likely much longer in a good cellar.

Production
Sourced from the gravelly soils of Margaux, the vineyard benefits from the classic Bordeaux terroir that favors excellent drainage and encourages Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen with depth and elegance. The blend varies by parcel and vintage, but typically emphasizes Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and longevity, with Merlot adding richness and Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot contributing aromatic lift and complexity. Vinification is carried out with careful parcel selection and traditional Bordeaux methods to preserve purity, balance, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This Margaux is an excellent partner for lamb, duck breast, roast beef, venison, and dishes with mushroom or truffle accents. It also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the bouquet and tannins to open fully.
