Winemakers Notes
Malescot Saint-Exupéry, e
ver higher
"Semper Ad Altum: latin expression which means "Ever higher"
Château Malescot St-Exupéry owes its name to two former owners: Simon Malescot, a royal councillor to the Bordeaux parliament, who acquired the estate in 1697, and Count Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry, who owned it from 1827 to 1853.
In June 1955, Paul Zuger and his son, Roger, purchased the château, located in the heart of Margaux. Since 1994, Jean-Luc Zuger, son of Roger Zuger, has managed the property.
Today, after more than sixty years of unstinting efforts, Malescot St-Exupéry’s coat of arms, "
Semper Ad Altum
", has never been truer. Malescot due to its small size - 28 hectares - is today one of the smallest Grands Crus Classés 1855, but also one of the closest to its original terroir of 1697.
