This is a 28 hectare Margaux property. The vineyard is planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
The 2024 is 53% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. The yield was 28 hl/ha. 13% ABV.
The 2024 Malescot Saint Exupéry has a cohesive nose with ample scents of blackberry, raspberry, light violet and just a touch of cedar in the background—backward, for sure, but it unfurls in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has firm tannins, a little chewy in a pleasant way with composure and bite on the finish. This is a thoroughly enjoyable fresh Margaux that will drink earlier than the 2022. Drink: 2027-2044
Bright ruby colour. Both nose and palate are sweet, bright, lightly crunchy and very red fruited. This is an easy-drinking, silky and midweight wine with a violet-tinged fruit profile and lightly sandy tannins on the finish.
The 2024 Malescot Saint Exupéry is a bit brawny and rough around the edges at this early stage. Élevage will play a determinant role here. There's good energy, but the 2024 is also edgy in its contours and fragile in its balance today. 2032-2044.
Aromas of violets, dark cherries and blueberries follow through to a medium-bodied palate with chewy tannins. Slightly angular, but there is a good center palate to hold the fruit. Structured, with a medium-long finish. 53% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 7% petit verdot. 50% new oak this year in contrast with 60% last year.
