| 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 medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Malescot St. Exupery leaps from the glass with expressive scents of baked blackberries, Morello cherries and boysenberries with hints of blackcurrant cordial, dark chocolate, licorice and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate has impressive intensity without heaviness, delivering mouth-coating black fruits and a firm, grainy texture, finishing with a refreshing earthy lift.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate ”A seductive Margaux with an intense nose of black fruit and red plums. Some herb and wood notes, too. It’s full-bodied with pretty, pure-berry flavors with some crushed stones and cement. The texture is silky and fine-grained and the tannins melt into the wine. Precise, flavorful finish with length. Try after 2024.” – James Suckling ”Lovely, with gently mulled plum, blackberry and black currant fruit sailing through atop a velvety structure while mouthwatering bay, black tea and iron notes flow underneath. Seductive, detailed finish lets a sanguine note echo longest. Gorgeous wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2036.” – Wine Spectator ”Tasted blind. Fragrant. Fresh and lifted with real energy. And some delicacy and sophistication. Rich but the fruit outweighs the (considerable) tannin. 14.5%. Drink 2027 – 2045” – Jancis Robinson ”This is a fruity and structured wine. With its dusty tannins and promising firm core, it has the texture for aging. Fruitiness gives it the potential to mature into a poised and sophisticated wine. Drink from 2026.” – Wine Enthusiast ”The 2018 Malescot Saint Exupéry is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Powerful and incisive, the 2018 is a driving, potent Margaux that dazzles from the first taste. Iron, smoke, new leather, licorice, pressed rose petal and cedar all open in the glass, conveying tremendous nuance and a ton of character.” – Vinous ”Confident and balanced. This is enjoyable, with enough graphite and chocolate shavings to ensure a gourmet take on the vintage, but not going over the top and retaining flesh through the black fruits. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drinking Window 2026 – 2042.” – Decanter |
