Château Malescot St Exupéry is a Third Growth wine producer situated in the Margaux appellation. Owned by the Zuger family since the 1950s, the estate includes 23 hectares under vine and the best vineyards share the same deep, grave soils as their neighbour Château Margaux. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 16 months in new oak and bottled without filtration or fining. It’s a full-bodied wine, marked by notes of red cherries, liquorice, violets and dark chocolate.

The 2019 Malescot St. Exupery has a deep garnet-purple color. It is a little broody and subdued to start, opening out to notes of tar, fragrant earth, and crushed rocks, over a core of fresh blackcurrants and stewed plums. The medium-bodied palate has lovely tension and ripe, grainy tannins supporting the youthful, muscular fruit, finishing earthy.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st May 2023

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.Jane Anson12th January 2022
91 Vinous
The 2019 Malescot St. Exupéry has a more exotic bouquet than its peers, with black plum, cassis and light violet aromas bursting from the glass. Extrovert. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fleshy and nubile, quite succulent with cassis and blue fruit towards the slightly herbaceous finish. I feel that this bottle needs more time to show the potential it has displayed previously, hence the plus-mark against my score. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
