Producer Profile

Producer Profile

Chateau Malescot St. Exupery

This is a vineyard that has seen intense work and intense expansion over the past few decades – in fact ever since Roger Zuger bought it in 1955 with his father Paul, and took it from 7 hectares to today’s 23.5 hectares, plus 6.5 hectares in AOC Bordeaux Superieur.

Roger’s son Jean-Luc Zuger is at the helm right now, and overseeing a wine that has swagger and attitude, and is firmly moving from the shadows to centre stage.

The estate was awarded Third Growth status in 1855, so the fact that it dipped in quality and renown over the 20th century was always a shame, and although it may divide opinions at time over its late-picked ripe fruits, blended from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the leap in quality over recent vintages is clear.

In the vineyard, some of the oldest vines date back 50 years – and despite its shrinking so drastically, the Zuger’s have managed to restore the vineyard to 80% of the exact same shape it was at the end of the 17th century. Gravity has been used in the two-story wine cellars here since the 1870s – something that is continued by the current wine consultant, Michel Rolland.

The name, incidentally, comes from a previous owner – Jean-Baptiste de Saint Exupery, who bought the estate in 1827, and was great grand father of Le Petit Prine author Antoine de Saint Exupery. He added his own name to that of a 17th century owner, Simon Malescot, who was a councillor to King Louis XIV.

Second wine is La Dame de Malescot. The AOC Bordeaux Superieur is bottled as Domaine de Balardin.
