Malescot Saint-Exupéry has been in the Zuger family since 1955, and Jean-Luc Zuger has spent decades sharpening this Third Growth Margaux into one of the appellation's most reliable overperformers. The 28 hectares of vines sit on deep gravel soils that share a border with Château Margaux itself, and the wine is aged in a high proportion of new French oak, giving it the perfume and density Malescot is known for. 2009 is one of the great Bordeaux vintages of the century, a warm, generous year that produced wines of richness, ripeness, and remarkable balance. Sixteen years on, the 2009 Malescot is just settling into its drinking window, with plenty of life ahead but plenty to enjoy now if decanted.

Antonio Galloni

91 points

"Inky ruby. Ripe aromas of plum, blackberry jam and sweet balsamic vinegar. Rich and ripe in the mouth, with lively acidity lifting the creamy black fruit flavors and extending the wine's lightly peppery, very suave finish. Not the most refined or subtle Margaux you'll ever taste but immensely drinkable, and with plenty of depth and concentration to its aromas and flavors." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

96 points

"An inky/purple color is followed by notes of Asian plum sauce, forest floor, creme de cassis, black raspberries and a floral component that is unusual for a Margaux. A wine of exceptional intensity and purity with a full-bodied, sumptuous texture, lots of fresh vibrancy and excellent definition, this beautiful 2009 exhibits high but sweet tannin. It is more sexy than the 2005 was at a similar age, although their level of extract and concentration is relatively equal. Something about the 2009 reminds me of a Margaux version of St.-Julien's Leoville Poyferre ... if that makes any sense." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Just the right side of volatile but very winning and opulent. More 2009 than Margaux. A little dry and chewy for the moment. Massive volume and finish." —Jancis Robinson MW

Wine Spectator

100 points

"This is absolutely fabulous. I love the complex aromas of ripe fruit and fresh flowers that turn to mineral and raspberry, along with tannins on the finish. This changes all the time. Full-bodied and dense, but so beautiful and long. The layers of ultrafine tannins just turn off the tip of your tongue."

Wine Enthusiast

"Barrel sample. Packed, fruity wine, dominated by very fresh acidity. The wine is crisp as much as rich, maybe on the lean side." —Roger Voss
