  • Description

    The 1966 Château Malescot St. Exupéry is a well-aged Third Growth Margaux, showcasing the depth and complexity that comes with nearly 60 years of maturation. The 1966 Bordeaux vintage was highly regarded for its structured and long-lived wines, and this Margaux estate has produced a wine that remains intriguing for those who appreciate mature Bordeaux.

    With a garnet hue and subtle bricking, this vintage offers a layered bouquet of forest floor, smoke, leather, and cigar box, alongside faint vegetal and caramel hints. On the palate, the wine maintains refined elegance, though it has moved fully into its tertiary phase, making it a fascinating experience for collectors and enthusiasts of aged Bordeaux.

    Best enjoyed at 16-18°C (60-64°F), the 1966 Château Malescot St. Exupéry pairs well with roast meats, game, and aged cheeses. Decanting is recommended to remove sediment and allow the wine’s delicate aromas to develop. While past its youthful peak, this vintage remains a remarkable example of Margaux’s aging potential, offering a glimpse into a classic Bordeaux era.
