Taste profile

Red Blend

On the palate

The 2014 Malescot-St-Exupery has a clean, fresh and vibrant bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, a touch of graphite emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit laced with cedar and graphite. The acidity is well judged, that pencil lead note heightened towards the finish that demonstrates very fine persistence. I like the swagger and class of this Margaux and I can see this offering two decades of drinking pleasure.

Chateau Malescot St. Exupery owest its name to two former owners: Simon Malescot a royal councillor to the Bordeaux parliment who acquired the estate in 1697 and Count Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupery who owned it from 1827 to 1853. Paul Zuger and his son Rojer purchased the chateau located in the middle of the town of Margaux in June 1955. After more than thirty years of unstinting efforts Malescot St. Exupery's coat of arms has never been truer: Semper Ad Altum (Ever Higher).
