The Story
Nestled in the Haut-Médoc, Château Malescasse reveals inviting aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, ripe plum, cedar, graphite, and sweet baking spices. Rich and beautifully structured, it combines silky tannins, vibrant freshness, layered complexity, and a long, elegant finish that reflects its exceptional Left Bank terroir.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck confit, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, venison, or braised short ribs.
87 Points - Wine Enthusiast
86-88 Barrel sample. Despite its initial edge of bitterness, this develops as a dense wine, packed with dark high toast and blackberry jelly flavors. The final bite of high extract spoils the finish.
