Critic reviews
"A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Malescot St. Exupéry offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a sun-kissed core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's a dramatic, generous, crowd-pleasing style of Margaux."
William Kelley, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 Malescot St. Exupéry was tasted on two occasions. The first bottle did not seem representative, the second at the château was better. This was picked from September 10 to 24 and matured in 45% new oak barrels. It offers vivacious, predominantly red berry fruit on the nose, wild strawberry and raspberry, nudging towards a Côtes de Nuits in some ways. Very pure and quite sensual. The palate is medium-bodied, with sappy red berry fruit and quite grippy tannins. Impressive depth and structure, a larger-framed Malescot St. Exupery with a tangible, sapid, black olive-tinged finish."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Malescot Saint Exupéry is classic Malescot—dark, powerful and quite brooding. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, tobacco and dried herbs are delineated with serious concentration and pure, unbridled power. This backward, massively tannic Margaux is a wine for readers who can be patient."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"A very structured red with black currants, blackberries and chocolate aromas. It’s full and flexing, with solid tannins and a long finish. Impressive. Better than 2022?"
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Deep and intense plum colour, grilled sandalwood and cedar, dried oregano and cranberry fruit, with firm tannins that offer Left Bank architecture but the acidity needs to soften further. Yield 25 hl/ha"
