Chateau Malescot Saint Exupery 2017 Margaux (75cl)

A Margaux red from the 2017 vintage, in a 75cl bottle. The estate is noted for wines with lift rather than pure weight. The 2017 is still fairly young, so decanting for an hour or so is suggested, and it suits lamb, beef or grilled food. The name is also presented as suitable for gifting. Margaux blends are typically built on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, usually showing cassis and black cherry with floral and cedar hints. Tannins in this commune are generally fine-grained, and at under ten years old the fruit is usually still leading.
