Château Malescot St. Exupéry 2019 is a generous and expressive Margaux, revealing aromas of cassis, blackcurrant and cherry, layered with notes of dark chocolate, espresso and subtle floral nuances. Full-bodied and structured, the palate is rich, layered and beautifully polished, with ripe, powdery tannins and a vibrant core of dark fruit. Powerful yet refined, it evolves into a long, focused finish with a touch of freshness and salinity, showcasing both depth and aging potential.

The 2019 Malescot St. Exupery is generous and expressive, bursting with aromas of cassis, cherries and blackberries mingled with hints of loamy soil, dark chocolate and espresso roast. Full-bodied, broad and muscular, its fleshy core of fruit is framed by succulent acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This will reward a bit of bottle age with flamboyant drinking.
