Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Château Malescot St. Exupéry is a wine estate in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, France. Its principal wine carries the château’s name and belongs to the group of Bordeaux estates designated as Troisièmes Crus, or Third Growths, in the 1855 Bordeaux Wine Official Classification. That classification remains central to the estate’s identity and places the château within the established hierarchy of Médoc wines. The estate’s vineyards are planted with a traditional Bordeaux blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. The vines are planted at a density of approximately 10,000 vines per hectare, and the average vine age is reported at about 35 years. This composition gives the property a Cabernet-led profile while retaining the roundness and fruit contribution of Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot used as complementary varieties. The château produces two identified wines. The grand vin, Château Malescot St. Exupéry, is the estate’s flagship offering and the wine associated with its Third Growth status. The estate also produces La Dame de Malescot as a second wine. As with other Bordeaux properties that make a second wine, this label provides a separate expression of the estate’s vineyard production, while the grand vin represents the principal selection. The brand is positioned in the premium and fine-wine segment, with its reputation based on Margaux provenance, the historical 1855 classification, estate-grown vineyard fruit, and a classic Bordeaux varietal structure. Publicly available reference material identifies the winery and its products but does not provide reliable information on the founding date, ownership structure, current management, financial performance, or detailed export markets. Those fields are therefore left unspecified rather than inferred.

Château Malescot St. Exupéry is a winery located in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux wine region in France. The estate’s historical significance is most clearly established by its inclusion among the fourteen Troisièmes Crus, or Third Growths, in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. That classification was created to rank leading Bordeaux properties and remains a durable reference point for the market’s understanding of the château’s status. The estate’s current identity is built around red wine made from a classic Bordeaux vineyard composition. The reported plantings comprise 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the majority of the vineyard, while Merlot supplies a substantial secondary component. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot account for smaller portions of the plantings and contribute to the traditional blend structure. The vines are planted at approximately 10,000 plants per hectare, with an average age of about 35 years. The principal wine is Château Malescot St. Exupéry, the grand vin associated with the estate and its Third Growth classification. The property also makes La Dame de Malescot, identified as its second wine. Together, these labels represent the estate’s core commercial range: a flagship classified-growth wine and a second expression made under a separate name. Available reference material describes the château as a French winery and provides information on its appellation, classification, vineyard proportions, planting density, vine age, and second wine. It does not establish a founding year, founder, ownership history, current executive roster, detailed winemaking chronology, or financial record. Consequently, those aspects cannot be documented here without additional reliable sources.
