Wine Description

The Chateau Malescot St Exupery presents a deep garnet-purple colour and a complex sensory profile. The bouquet is highly aromatic and floral, bursting with scents of black currant, black cherry, and crushed violets, complemented by hints of lavender, mint, and creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a fleshy, flamboyant style, showcasing vibrant layers of dark berries, red currants, and plums alongside notes of espresso and spice. Its structure is defined by firm yet silky tannins and a lively core of acidity, leading to a long, polished finish with a touch of savory herbs.
