Over het wijnhuis | Château Malescot St. Exupery is een 3e Grand Cru Classé in Margaux met een geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 18e eeuw. Het was ooit één van de meest geurende, exotische rode wijnen van Bordeaux en een schoolvoorbeeld van geparfumeerde Margaux. In de 1980 raakte het château in verval met bleke, nietszeggende wijnen. Een jaar of vijftien later keert het terug naar zijn oude glorie met een indrukwekkende én prachtig geparfumeerde wijn in 1996. |

Awards | "The 2017 Malescot St. Exupery is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot aged in French oak, 70% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it is redolent of warm red and black currants, kirsch and raspberry pie on the nose with floral wafts, tobacco and wild sage in the background plus a hint of pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, it is packed with expressive red and black fruits and is velvety and refreshing, finishing long." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Aromas of blueberries and stone with some dried-flower notes. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a medium finish. Linear and refined with a very fine line of tannins running through it. Better after 2023." - James Suckling "The 2017 Malescot Saint Exupéry has really come together nicely over the course of its élevage. In this vintage, Malescot is a bit more fruity and less structured than it has been. Cedar, licorice, dried herbs, menthol and scorched earth notes give the 2017 a distinctly savory feel to match its somber, virile personality. The 2017 is a wine that keeps getting better each time I taste it, and that makes me very hopeful for the future; it will be interesting to see what happens here with aging, and, specifically, if a bit more structure emerges. This is a wine of great personality and character." - Vinous "The plum and cassis notes are pure and fresh, carried by a polished structure, while aromatic black tea, violet, bergamot and alder elements hang in the background. Very stylish and nicely rendered for the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2033. 6,183 cases made." - Wine Spectator "Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Very succulent and seductive on the nose, all blue fruit and polished sweet spices. The palate follows – it is seamless and suave, perhaps a little warm and spicy but very moreish. A pleasure to drink already, it should continue to offer enjoyment for a decade or more. (TP). Drink 2022 – 2032" - Jancis Robinson |
