Description

The second wine: Le Bouquet de Monbrison is sourced from the estate which covers around 20 hectares in Cordet and Margaux.
The vines are up to 49 years old and are on gravelly soils, all in one piece. The harvest at Château Monbrison is green and the vinification is traditional. The Bouquet de Monbrison is aged in barrels, 25% of which are new for 10 to 12 months.
The Monbrison has a bouquet of great finesse, with a fair balance between wood and black and red fruits. Bouquet has a soft and very ample tannic structure. Elegant nose with dark pronounced fruit notes on a very discrete oak flavour. Enjoy the Bouquet de Monbrison with meats, game and cheese.

Chateau Malescot St Exupery

Château Malescot-St-Exupéry, a 3ème Cru Classé Margaux property, can trace its history back to the 18th century. Over the years its reputation slipped and the estate became dilapidated and run-down.

In 1955 Malescot-St-Exupéry was purchased by the Zuger family who invested heavily in the estate, and it is now one of the best-maintained and most quality-driven of the Margaux crus. Today it is run by Jean-Luc Zuger. The winery and the cellars are located in the town of Margaux, while the vineyards now consist of five separate parcels in the commune of Margaux.

Malescot-St-Exupéry's wine is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot - it is matured in oak barriques, 80% of which are new, for 16 months and is bottled unfiltered.

Malescot-St-Exupéry can be light and lean when young but after 6-7 years of cellaring displays a seductive perfume and a harmonious and silky texture which few wines from Margaux can match.
