This is the second wine of Chteau Malescot St-Exupery, a quality troisième-cru property in Margaux, which has some vineyards immediately adjacent to those of the great Chteau Margaux itself. A blend of around 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc & 5% Petit Verdot, this is an approachable & earlier-drinking sibling of the grand vin, drinking well now.
