Chateau Malescot Saint-Exupery, Margaux, 2009
Malescot Saint-Exupéry has been in the Zuger family since 1955, and Jean-Luc Zuger has spent decades sharpening this Third Growth Margaux into one of the appellation's most reliable overperformers. The 28 hectares of vines sit on deep gravel soils that share a border with Château Margaux itself, and the wine is aged in a high proportion of new French oak, giving it the perfume and density Malescot is known for. 2009 is one of the great Bordeaux vintages of the century, a warm, generous year that produced wines of richness, ripeness, and remarkable balance. Sixteen years on, the 2009 Malescot is just settling into its drinking window, with plenty of life ahead but plenty to enjoy now if decanted.
