Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery 2024

Avis professionnels

James Suckling (94)

93-94
Aromas of violets, dark cherries and blueberries follow through to a medium-bodied palate with chewy tannins. Slightly angular, but there is a good center palate to hold the fruit. Structured, with a medium-long finish. 53% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 7% petit verdot. 50% new oak this year in contrast with 60% last year.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Cask sample. Dark- and red-berry fruit aromas. Seductive fruit on the palate. Ample, round and fresh with finely integrated tannins. Perhaps a little chew on the finish but shows potential.

The 2024 Malescot Saint Exupéry has a cohesive nose with ample scents of blackberry, raspberry, light violet and just a touch of cedar in the background—backward, for sure, but it unfurls in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has firm tannins, a little chewy in a pleasant way with composure and bite on the finish. This is a thoroughly enjoyable fresh Margaux that will drink earlier than the 2022.
