Chateau Malescot St Exupery 2019
Chateau Malescot St Exupery 2019 originates from France, within the Margaux appellation of the Médoc region in Bordeaux. This historic estate traces its roots back to 1616 and was famously classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Currently owned by the Zuger family and managed by Jean Luc Zuger, the winery combines traditional techniques with modern innovation, such as being one of the first in the region to utilize a gravity-fed winemaking system.
Wine Description
This wine displays a deep ruby or garnet purple colour with dark violet reflections. The aromatic profile is generous and expressive, featuring a well defined bouquet of cassis, black cherry, and blackberry mingled with floral notes, liquorice, and cedar. On the palate, it is full bodied and muscular yet refined, delivering layers of opulent dark red fruits supported by vibrant acids and ripe, powdery tannins. The finish is remarkably long, persistent, and detailed, often showing hints of espresso roast and loamy soil. The varietal composition for the 2019 vintage is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. It has an ABV of 14% and is produced using sustainable viticulture practices, though it is not typically certified organic.
Food Pairing
The versatile structure and power of this Margaux make it an excellent match for a variety of classic dishes. It pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats, such as filet mignon, entrecote, or roast lamb. It also complements wild game, roasted poultry like duck or coq au vin, and hearty mushroom based recipes. For a cheese course, it is best served with soft, flavourful varieties such as Brie or Camembert, as well as aged hard cheeses.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage in Margaux is considered to be of exceptionally high quality, following a hot and dry summer that lasted until late September. Despite two significant heatwaves in June and July, the vines benefited from moisture retaining soils and a golden autumn, resulting in grapes with extraordinary concentration and freshness. The winemaking team successfully managed these conditions to produce a wine that balances richness with the characteristic finesse of the appellation.
