Gentle at first and then quietly persuasive, the 2023 Château Malescot St. Exupéry layers ripe red and blackcurrant fruit with cherries, cocoa, and a touch of licorice and cedar, all wrapped in finely polished tannins. Medium to full in body but refreshingly classical in feel, it shows a cool, savory edge and a saline lift on the finish that promises real finesse with a few years’ patience. This is a refined, old-school-leaning Margaux with modern precision and impressive poise in 2023.

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.
