Medium ruby colour. Aromas of warm, ripe red fruit accompanied by classic notes of cedar and tobacco leaf. On the palate, ripe red cherry and raspberry combine well with a firm cedary structure and flavours of pure new oak. The acidity is soft, causing the mid-palate fruit to be quite flat and allowing the oak to close the finish early. The metallic flavour that the Malescot Saint-Exupéry acquires after long ageing is almost unique.
This wine comes in a 1,5 litre bottle called Magnum. The Magnum size is ideal for a gentleman for an evening out, for example.

Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry
The estate was purchased in 1827 by Jean-Baptiste, a distant ancestor of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of 'The Little Prince.' In the 1960s, the winery experienced a significant decline, where the proceeds from wine sales were enough only to buy a modest television. For the last half-century, Malescot has been under the control of Jean-Luc Zuger, the third member of his dynasty. He and his team adhere to ancient principles and methods, combined with new ideas.
Fermentation is slow and lengthy, with the must fermenting with the skins in vats, and during fermentation, the juice is pumped over the cap. The metallic flavor that Malescot Saint-Exupéry wine acquires after long aging is almost unique.
