Malescot-St -Exupéry 2005 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Château Malescot-St-Exupéry is a Third Growth Margaux property that has been owned by the Zuger family since the 1950s. The estate includes 23 hectares under vine and the best vineyards share the same deep, grave soils as their neighbour Château Margaux. "This is distinctive, with a roasted alder streak running through an enticing core of crushed plum, blackberry and black currant confiture flavours. Long and velvety on the finish, with bay, tobacco and black tea accents checking in. This is suave, with fruit and terroir in spades, particularly for the vintage. Best from 2017 through 2025."
