Chateau Malescot St. Exupery 2024 opens with a vivid mix of violets, dark berries and a hint of cedar, then moves into a medium-bodied palate where ripe blackberry and cherry fruit are wrapped in firm, slightly chewy tannins. The frame is taut and linear rather than plush, with a cool, slate-like feel and enough mid-palate depth to carry a fresh, medium-long finish that should soften nicely with a bit of time in bottle.

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.
