2025 Chateau Malescot St Exupery - Margaux (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Malescot Saint-Exupéry, ever higher

"Semper Ad Altum: latin expression which means "Ever higher"

Château Malescot St-Exupéry owes its name to two former owners: Simon Malescot, a royal councillor to the Bordeaux parliament, who acquired the estate in 1697, and Count Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry, who owned it from 1827 to 1853.

 
In June 1955, Paul Zuger and his son, Roger, purchased the château, located in the heart of Margaux. Since 1994, Jean-Luc Zuger, son of Roger Zuger, has managed the property.
Today, after more than sixty years of unstinting efforts, Malescot St-Exupéry’s coat of arms, "Semper Ad Altum", has never been truer. Malescot due to its small size - 28 hectares - is today one of the smallest Grands Crus Classés 1855, but also one of the closest to its original terroir of 1697.

The 2025 vintage:

The color asserts itself immediately — deep and brilliant — like a promise fulfilled at first glance. On the nose, freshness expresses itself with clarity and brightness, setting the tone for a wine whose balance is already beautifully in place. Nothing stands out, everything is in harmony — almost like an obvious truth that no longer feels the need to convince revealing itself gently, almost discreetly, from the very first sip. On the palate, a vibrant acidity brings structure and extends the tasting with remarkable persistence. The length settles in gracefully, never imposing itself heavily, leaving room for tannins that are still youthful yet already remarkably supple. The whole is silky, almost caressing, with that enveloping sensation that makes you want to return to it again and again (purely out of scientific curiosity, of course).
One finds here the charm of a great solar vintage of the past — one that knew how to combine richness and elegance without ever losing its freshness. In short, a wine with memory and a very promising future
