Dark, pure berry and plum fruit drive this 2018 Margaux, layered with notes of graphite, subtle spice, tobacco and dark chocolate over a fresh, finely etched frame. Chateau Malescot St. Exupery shows both richness and precision this vintage, with velvety but structured tannins that give length, shape and plenty of aging potential to its polished, stony finish.

Château Malescot St. Exupéry is a third-growth Margaux Grand Cru Classé red Bordeaux, typically a Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot–Cabernet Franc–Petit Verdot blend from gravelly, clay- and chalk-influenced soils around Margaux. Known for its silky texture, perfume, and balance of ripe black fruit with freshness and refined tannins, it is crafted for both early charm and long-term ageing, with élevage in a high proportion of new French oak.
