Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry

Producer description of "Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry"

The winery is located in the municipality of Margaux in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). Its origins lie in a property owned by the Escoussès family of notaries in the 16th century. In 1697, it was acquired by Simon Malescot, who gave it the first part of its current name. The family sold the estate in 1827 to the Marquis Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry (the great-grandfather of the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), who merged it with the "Loyac" wine estate and added the second part of the name to the estate name. When Château Dubignon was closed down, some of these vineyards were added to the estate. Between 1880 and 1955, five owners were ruined by disasters such as phylloxera and mildew as well as two world wars. Only seven hectares of vineyards remained of the totally run-down estate.
