Château MALESCOT SAINT-EXUPÉRY
3ème grand cru classé
- 2021
- Margaux
In 2000, Malescot Saint-Exupéry woke up under the leadership of Michel Rolland. Since then, in a generous and serene style, very rich for a Margaux, he has never ceased to distinguish himself. As the Revue du Vin de France wrote: "In 10 years, it is the wine that has made the most progress among the Margaux wines".
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 95/100 “The 2021 is obviously a little softer, but it's not lacking in assets; the nose is open, floral, and the palate unfolds with great elegance. It offers a lovely suave tannin finish”.
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94/100 “The 2021 Malescot St. Exupéry 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 2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (November 2020): 96/100 “The nose imposes the wine's beautiful fullness, with notes of black fruits. This signature is repeated on the palate. The wine is fat, generous, but also civilized in the definition of its tannins. Very promising."
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 95/100 "The 2018 Malescot St. Exupéry is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Powerful and incisive, the 2018 is a driving, potent Margaux that dazzles from the first taste. Iron, smoke, new leather, licorice, pressed rose petal and cedar all open in the glass, conveying tremendous nuance and a ton of character."

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2022): 95/100 "The 2016 Malescot St. Exupéry is fabulous. Powerful and explosive on the palate, the 2016 offers serious intensity, but it also appears to be holding back quite a bit of its potential. Moreover, what impresses me most is that in 2016, intensity is delivered more with finesse than with the brutish power that is such a signature of Malescot. Deep and resonant, but also remarkably polished, the 2016 Malescot is a winner. Hints of iron, smoke, cedar, tobacco and scorched earth add nuance, but it is the wine's sense of poise that is most remarkable. I loved it."

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2022): 92/100 "The 2015 Malescot St. Exupéry has an elegant bouquet showcasing primarily red berry fruit (wild strawberry and raspberry), pencil shavings and light forest floor scents. Yhe palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, finely-tuned acidity, a little more black fruit than the nose and a granular texture. It gently builds in the glass and is harmonious, slightly Saint-Julien in style, towards the finish that displays a touch of black pepper. Very Fine."
