Features |
Located in the village of Margaux, Château Marescot Saint-Exupéry, a third-growth estate, is one of the most prestigious châteaux in existence since the 19th century. Its name comes from its connection to the Saint-Exupéry family, a renowned French writer. Owning some of the finest plots in Margaux, with particularly high levels of gravel, the estate is known for its vinification techniques that maximize the natural brilliance and delicacy of the grapes. Its style, combining finesse and complexity, has been described as the "ultimate elegance" and continues to captivate the hearts of connoisseurs. The 2009 vintage is a wine of exceptional balance and rich fruit. A warm climate allowed for perfect fruit ripening. The blend, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is characterized by its deep color and rich fruit aroma. Aromas of black cherry, plum, spice, and light chocolate waft through the air, while the palate is smooth and supported by firm tannins. The wine has a long, satisfying finish and shows great potential for further aging. Its elegant yet powerful impact makes it a perfect wine for special occasions. |
