Château Malescot-Saint-Exupéry

The Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry was already producing wine at the beginning of the 17th century. It was first named Château Malescot when Master Simon Malescot, King's advisor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, acquired it in 1697. Then in 1827, it was the Count of Saint-Exupéry's turn to own it and to add his name to it. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famous French aviator and writer, would be one of his descendants.

The Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry would be named the Third Grand Cru Classé during the famous classification of 1855, and would pass into the hands of the Zuger Family a century later.

The 28-hectare vineyard is planted on beautiful clay-limestone and gravel soils, and is composed of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. A Second wine is produced, La Dame de Malescot.

Having long since regained its letters of nobility, the Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry offers harmonious, fruity and expressive wines, illustrating the beauty of the Margaux terroir.
