Château MALESCOT SAINT-EXUPÉRY
3ème grand cru classé

In 2000, Malescot Saint-Exupéry woke up under the leadership of Michel Rolland. Since then, in a generous and serene style, very rich for a Margaux, he has never ceased to distinguish himself. As the Revue du Vin de France wrote: "In 10 years, it is the wine that has made the most progress among the Margaux wines".

Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100 « Le château réussit le tour de force de produire un vin à la fois dense, concentré et intensément fruité, mais aussi très élégant et sans lourdeur. Brillant, salin, précis, il termine sur la pulpe du fruit. »
Bettane & Desseauve : 95/100 « Nous retrouvons ce que nous aimons dans se cru, sa franchise, sa droiture, mais aussi sa finesse aromatique et son potentiel de garde, avec l’enveloppe de merlots. Grande réussite. »
Le Point : 16.5/20 « Nez baies noires, note grillée, bouche tendue, serrée, vive, épicée. Fin, tendu, élégant. »
Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 Malescot St. Exupéry is a powerful Margaux that will need a bit of time to come together. Potent tannins wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit, lavender, mint and dried herbs. These days, Malescot is not quite as unyielding as it used to be, but this remains a decidedly old-school Margaux in style and overall philosophy. »
Martin : 92-94/100 « Displaying blackberry and briar on the nose, the 2023 Malescot Saint Exupéry demands some coaxing from the glass. There's just a light, confit-like aroma in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure, slightly powdery tannins, modest weight and noticeably fresh acidity and salinity, the latter especially prominent toward the finish. More classically hewn compared to the 2022, this will require five or six years in bottle. Classy. »
