La Dame De Malescot Margaux 2016 750 ML

La Dame de Malescot is the second wine of the illustrious Chteau Malescot Saint-Exupry in Margaux. The Zuger family purchased Chteau Malescot Saint-Exupry in 1955, and is today run single-handedly by Jean-Luc Zuger who also makes the wine. The property is a sought-after producer of rich, pure, and aromatic Margaux wines. As the second wine of the estate, La Dame de Malescot offers a great opportunity to sample the impressive style of Chteau Malescot Saint-Exupry.

The name of this property is taken from two former owners: Malescot and Saint Exupry, the grandfather of the famous aviator-writer. Chteau Malescot Saint Exupry adjoins part of Chteau Margaux’s vineyard. The soil in the vineyard consists of Pyrenean gravel. The current owner has focused his efforts on improving the quality of this notable estate and has succeeded. From the beginning of the 1990s, the wines, with aromas of red and black fruits, and red and purple flowers, have become richer, more intense and more consistent. They are also now even more refined with delicate nuances to match the full-bodied character.
