Product detailed description
The 2 vintages of Château Malescot Saint-Exupery are packaged in an exclusive gift box. These are the 2006 and 2008 vintages. The 2006 wine is a great, expressive wine with a surprisingly complex composition of aromas and an exemplary nobility of varied flavours. The 2008 wine is a sharper cut, powerful wine with flavours of both red and black fruits and definite potential in its expressive, quality finish.
The metallic flavour that Malescot Saint-Exupéry acquires after long ageing is almost unique.

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.
