The 2022 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry is gorgeous and certainly a Margaux worth seeking out. Dense purple-hued with a rich powerful bouquet of ripe black fruits melted chocolate smoked tobacco and spice it picks up a beautiful floral character with air is full-bodied and has a layered opulent mouthfeel as well as a great finish. It shows the vintage's building yet velvety tannins and is going to warrant just 4-5 years or more of bottle age but it's
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Malescot Saint Exupéry was picked from 19 September until 5 October stopping over two weekends as it rained. Every parcel contributed fruit to the Grand Vin and there is 14.5% alcohol. Raised in 70% new oak with most of the malo done in barrel it has a fragrant bouquet with red cherries raspberry coulis blueberry and violet scents. The palate has a well-defined entry with sour cherry raspberry blackcurrant and touches of marmalade. Not powerful but harmonious with a silky texture this is a precision-tooled Margaux that will give 20 to 30 years of drinking pleasure.
The Wine Independent: 93-95+ Points
Deep garnet-purple in color the 2022 Malescot St. Exupery comes barreling out of the glass with bold notions of black raspberries blackcurrant jelly and fresh juicy plums followed by wafts of violets cinnamon stick and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely laden with black and red berry layers framed by firm fine-grained tannins and oodles of freshness finishing long and perfumed. This is very pretty!
vWine Advocate: 93-95 Points
Offering up aromas of rich blackberries cassis sweet spices pencil shavings and creamy new oak the 2022 Malescot St. Exupery is medium to full-bodied rich and fleshy with a broad attack that segues into a layered core of expressive fruit that's framed by sweet powdery tannins. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot this is one of the appellation's most flamboyant wines but it retains good balance and boasts a healthy pH of 3.65.
