Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux 2018 : A Seductive and Polished Third Growth with Silky Power and Classic Margaux Elegance

Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux 2018 is a vibrant and expressive Grand Cru Classé from the Margaux appellation, classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru Classé). Known for its modern, fruit-forward style, the estate benefits from gravelly soils in the heart of Margaux, producing wines that combine aromatic finesse with depth and structure. The 2018 vintage is widely regarded as outstanding in Bordeaux, delivering richness, precision, and impressive balance across the Left Bank.

The blend is typically led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, giving the wine both structure and aromatic complexity.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby to garnet color with purple highlights. The nose is highly expressive, opening with blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, followed by violets, rose petals, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with silky, finely grained tannins and a core of dense, juicy dark fruit. Despite its richness, it remains fresh and lifted, giving it energy and precision through the mid-palate. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of cassis, cocoa, spice, and stony minerality.

Critics have rated the 2018 vintage very highly, with scores reaching up to 97 points, praising its seductive aromatics, silky texture, and excellent balance between power and finesse. It is considered a classic modern Margaux that is approachable in youth but built for long-term aging, evolving beautifully over the next two decades.

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry 2018 pairs beautifully with dishes such as grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, and aged cheeses. Its elegance and structure make it ideal for both refined dining and special occasions.
