Over the years its reputation slipped and the estate became dilapidated and run-down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Chateau Malescot St. Exupery is a dark color with a fine crimson tint. The wine offers notes of ripe fruit, mocha and vanilla along with powerful yet harmonious and smooth tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeep garnet colored, the 2010 Malescot St. Exupery wafts gracefully out of the glass with scents of potpourri, raspberry coulis and kirsch over a cassis and warm plums core with a touch of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with juicy red and black fruits, sporting a firm, fine-grained texture and oodles of freshness. It has a good, long and remarkably pure finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA wine with beautiful strawberry and chocolate with hints of pie crust. It's full-bodied with super integrated tannins and a long, long finish. Needs at least four to five years to really come together but so wonderful. Not the amazing 2009 but clearly outstanding.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWS94\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis delivers a slightly chewy-edged feel, with charcoal and roasted alder hints holding sway over the core of steeped damson plum, black currant and anise notes. Shows grip through the finish, but stays long, featuring a lovely backdrop of tar and warm stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Malescot St. Exupery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43148749537504,"sku":"111847","price":154.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/thumbme_b313adeb-3e2f-4c4a-9303-fdf3e488f6fc.jpg?v=1663884281","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-malescot-st-exupery-margaux-grand-cru-classe-2010-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
