The 2021 Malescot St. Exupery has turned out nicelyin its fleshy, flamboyant style, bursting with aromas of dark berries, cherriesand creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, with suppletannins and a lively core of fruit, it's a strong effort.

A stunning red with currants, blackberries, roses and violets. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and polish and finesse to the powerful tannins. A real stunner. Better than 2015.
【Robert Parker 95 pts】
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Malescot St. Exupery sings of cassis, fragrant earth, tobacco and lilacs with a compelling waft of mocha. Medium to full-bodied and strutting loads of expressive fruit layers at this youthful stage, it's framed by ripe, grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing with great length and depth.
【Vinous 95 pts】
The 2016 Malescot Saint Exupery has a well-defined bouquet of ample red currant, cranberry and strawberry fruit laced with rose petal and hints of graphite. There is something almost Saint Julien
-like about the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, graphite-infused black fruit,and quite linear and poised, but it conveys a genuine sense of energy and tension toward the classic finish. A magnificent Margaux.
【Wine Spectator 93 pts】
This opens slowly, showing a slight woodsy bent, with alder and mesquite notes leading off, but as it does the core of red currant, blackberry and plum fruit flavor fleshes out nicely, soaking up the woodsy element while adding in light savory detail and black tea and violet notes. A long mineral echo chimes through the finish. Best from 2022 through 2036. 9,975 cases made.

This estate is really improving. The wine in this vintage is full of fragrant fruit, with the tannins making a fine backdrop to the juiciness. It's going to be a fine medium-term wine.
Chateau Malescot St-Exupery（馬利哥酒莊） 位於波爾多左岸的Margaux產區，於1697年被Simon Malescot (當時任職法王路易十四的議員)收購，並以自己的名字將酒莊命名為Chateau Malescot。Malescot家族共管理酒莊長達一個世紀後，歷經分裂和轉手，在1827年由Jean-Baptiste St-Expéry伯爵買下，伯爵為了紀念飛行員和作家的曾祖父Antoine de Saint- Expéry，決定更名為Chateau Malescot St-Exupery。並在1855年的波爾多列級酒莊評級中被列為三級酒莊，同產區的三級莊還有 Chateau Palmer（寶馬酒莊）和 Chateau Giscours（美人魚城堡）等名莊。
之後數度易主，且經歷過20世紀初的經濟危機後，酒莊從此走下坡，到了30年代因為二次世界大戰的緣故，甚至成為破落荒廢的莊園。戰爭結束後，Zuger家族帶著對波爾多葡萄酒釀酒事業的熱愛，著手重建葡萄園，使莊園在短時間內出產符合三級酒莊名號的佳釀。時至如今，Zuger家族仍管理著莊園，在新莊主是 Jean-Luc Zuger ，在他的管理下，繼續釀製聞名世界的美酒佳釀。
酒莊的葡萄園坐落在 Margaux 區兩片以礫石為主的區域，由五塊分散的地塊組成，其中兩塊葡萄園直接位於 Chateau Margaux 正北和正西方，總面積為28公頃。周圍表層以2-10米厚的礫石層為主，沿著緩緩的斜坡一直延伸到吉倫特河（Gironde）河口，而底層土壤則為在第三紀形成的泥灰岩和泥灰質的粘土。部分地方為鐵質層，或者說是“砂岩層”。園內葡萄藤的平均樹齡為35年，部分老藤年齡超過50年，種植密度為10,000株/公頃，平均單產在5,000-6,000升/公頃左右。目前，葡萄品種的比例主要為 Cabernet Sauvignon 約50%， Merlot 35%，Carbernet Franc 10%和 Petit Verdot 5%。
酒莊聘請著名的“飛行釀酒師”Michel Rolland擔任釀酒顧問。Chateau Malescot St-Exupery 葡萄酒會在控溫大桶內進行酒精發酵，不添加額外的酵母及其他添加劑。然後在陳釀時，會在全新橡木桶中陳釀14-16個月。Chateau Malescot St-Exupery葡萄酒帶有濃郁的紅色漿果和泥土氣息，以誘人的樹莓和紫羅蘭芳香著稱，質地絲滑，酒體濃郁平衡，精緻優雅，單甯圓潤集中，表現力佳，香料以及黑醋栗的風味中伴隨著平衡愉悅的酸度。
