2020 Malescot Saint Exupery 6 Pack

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. Paul Zuger and his son, Roger, purchased the château, located in the middle of the town of Margaux, in June 1955. 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 has never been truer: Semper Ad Altum (“Ever Higher”). Malescot due to its small size, 28 hectares, is today one of the smallest Grands Crus Classés 1855, close to its original terroir of 1697.
