Château Malescot-Saint-Exupéry is a Margaux estate ranked as a Troisième Cru, or 3rd Growth, in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux. The château has a very long history, being one of the first vineyards planted in the Médoc in the beginning of the 17th century after the Dutch drained the area's marshes. The name of the estate comes from Simon Malescot, the Attorney General to Louis XIV and a member of the Bordeaux Parliament and Comte Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry, who purchased the estate in 1827.
The château consists of roughly 40 hectares of which 27 are under vine planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. All fruit is hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented under controlled temperature. The wine is aged 14-16 months in oak barrels and bottled without fining or filtration.

The 2021 Malescot St. Exupery is beautiful-a wine that isn't trying to be too much in this challenging vintage. Floral aromatics and silky tannins give this mid-weight edition of Malescot quite a bit of charm. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Crushed flowers, dark red/purplish fruit, mint, spice and a dash of orange peel linger. This is nicely done.

The 2021 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry is rock-solid in the vintage, with a plump, medium-bodied, nicely textured style. Red and blue fruits, tobacco, spice, and some leafy herb notes all define the aromatics, and it has enough concentration and class to evolve for 10-12 years, if not longer. The blend is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, aged 12-14 months in barrel.
