2018 Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery Margaux
£49.00
“A seductive Margaux with an intense nose of black fruit and red plums. Some herb and wood notes, too. It’s full-bodied with pretty, pure-berry flavors with some crushed stones and cement. The texture is silky and fine-grained and the tannins melt into the wine. Precise, flavorful finish with length. Try after 2024.”
97 Points, James Suckling
“The 2018 Malescot Saint 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. ”
95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Product Description
On 1 st June 1955, Paul and Roger Zuger acquired the estate, when it had no more than 7 hectares (17 acres). Today the property consists of 28 hectares (69 acres) benefitting from the Margaux appellation. Three generations of the Zuger family have worked in turn to put the estate back on track and restore its reputation. In 1994 Jean- Luc took over from his father Roger.
Today the property is owned by Catherine and Jean-Luc Zuger. Jean-Luc is the general manager and strives to make Malescot Saint-Exupéry one of the great names within the Margaux appellation.
