The Grand Cru Classé of Margaux, Chateau Malescot St. Exupery is located on the left bank of Bordeaux. The Chateau expands over a 28-hectare vineyard spread over the most beautiful terroirs of the Margaux appellation, with soils of Pyrenean gravel. The 2022 vintage has an intense aroma, with notes of cassis and elderberry, as well as mint and floral notes; compact palate, rich fruit, the finest tannins, plenty of everything, but the proportions are just right. Long, highly aromatic finish. Will age very well. Drinking Window: 2030-2055

Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot                                            

97 Points - James Suckling

Plenty of blackcurrant and blueberry character here with cedar and sandalwood undertones that give such interest. Medium- to full-bodied, this has integrated tannins and a long and linear finish. Racy at the end. Classy. Give this three or four years to slightly soften, but it’s already a joy to taste. Drink after 2029.
