WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:

"An inky/purple color is followed by notes of Asian plum sauce, forest floor, creme de cassis, black raspberries and a floral component that is unusual for a Margaux. A wine of exceptional intensity and purity with a full-bodied, sumptuous texture, lots of fresh vibrancy and excellent definition, this beautiful 2009 exhibits high but sweet tannin. It is more sexy than the 2005 was at a similar age, although their level of extract and concentration is relatively equal. Something about the 2009 reminds me of a Margaux version of St.-Julien-s Leoville Poyferre ... if that makes any sense. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040.

This is another fabulous effort from an estate that has been doing extraordinary work over the last 10-15 years. I enjoyed the 2009 as much as the 2005, perhaps even slightly more because while it has structure, the tannins are less aggressive and there is more succulence, flesh and texture in the 2009."

In 1697, Louise Escousses sold the property (the winery) to Master Simon Malescot, adviser to the French monarch Louis XIV for the Bordeaux Parliament. He gave his name to the property.

In February 1827, Count Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry, who was the great-grandfather of the French aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, acquired Château Malescot. He decided to enrich the property’s name by adding his own. Jean-Baptiste lived a life beyond his means, and his widow had to sell the property by auction in 1853.

Margaux is known for finessed and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon based wines. Margaux contains the highest concentration of classified growths of Bordeaux. The wines show character of cassis, tobacco and floral focused earthiness.
