Winemakers Notes
Malescot Saint-Exupéry, "Semper Ad Altum"
"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.
The 2021 vintage
A mild winter, a cool spring, a cold summer... We have chosen to leave the grapes on the vines as long as possible so that the vegetal character fades to be replaced by the fruit.
Today, the Malescot 2021 stands out as a classic, tender and precise. It expresses very well the terroirs and the nuances of the cepages. Delicious, full of vivacity, the Malecot 2021 shares its balance and vitality with us.
