La Dame de Malescot Margaux AOC (Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry GCC 2nd wine)

In 1697, Louise Escousses sold the property (the winery) to Master Simon Malescot, adviser to the French monarch Louis XIV for the Bordeaux Parliament. He gave his name to the property.

On 5 th February 1827, Count Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Exupéry, who was the great-grandfather of the French aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, acquired Château Malescot. He decided to enrich the property’s name by adding his own.

Today the property is owned by Catherine and Jean-Luc Zuger. Jean-Luc is the general manager and strives to make Malescot Saint-Exupéry one of the great names within the Margaux appellation.
