Chateau Malescot St. Exupery

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92

Drink To: 2024-2030

Château Malescot Saint Exupery’s history can be traced all the way back to 1616, and since then it has been seized during the French Revolution, and confiscated after auction during World War I. Today the third growth estate is run by the Zuger family who continue to make wines under the lead of Michel Rolland. Its 30-hectare vineyard comprises Cabernet Sauvignon (c.50%), Merlot (c.35%), Cabernet Franc (c.10%) and Petit Verdot (c.5%) and sits on a terroir of gravel, chalk and clay soils with iron deposits. The wine is aged in 80-100% new French oak for 14-16 months. When young its grand vin is light and supple, but after a few years of bottle ageing it opens up to reveal both a silky, supple texture and gorgeous perfume.

The 2014 Malescot St. Exupery feels a little oaky on the nose, though it coheres in the glass with wild strawberry and cranberry and a touch of dried flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, fleshy but missing real complexity. Cracked black pepper appears on the finish. You could drink this now, but it isn't going anywhere and seems more evolved than expected. Punters' Margaux (as they say). Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Malescot-St-Exupery has a clean, fresh and vibrant bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, a touch of graphite emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit laced with cedar and graphite. The acidity is well judged, that pencil lead note heightened towards the finish that demonstrates very fine persistence. I like the swagger and class of this Margaux and I can see this offering two decades of drinking pleasure.
