Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Malescot St. Exupéry prances out with gregarious notes of juicy blueberries and black raspberries, leading to hints of violets, mossy tree bark, and camphor. The medium-bodied palate is intense with shimmery blue and red berry flavors, supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and perfumed. Stunning!"

James Suckling: A very structured red with black currants, blackberries and chocolate aromas. It’s full and flexing, with solid tannins and a long finish. Impressive. Better than 2022?"

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig unterlegte Nuancen von Edelholz, Graphit, schwarzes Beerenkonfit, ein Hauch von Nougat, kandierte Mandarinenzesten. Kraftvoll, reife Zwetschken, dezente Süße, ein Hauch von Dörrobst, tragende Tannine, dezente Würze vom Petit Verdot im Abgang, ein kraftvoller Speisenbegleiter mit Reifepotenzial."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Floral aromas kick things off aromatically before you find licorice, espresso, currants, black cherries, and cocoa nuances. The palate is round, creamy, fruity, juicy, ripe, sweet, and fresh, leaving you with layers of chocolate-tinted plums, currants, cherries, and a refreshing touch of mint that come in at the end of the finish. Drink from 2030-2055."

Wine Advocate: A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Malescot St. Exupéry offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a sun-kissed core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's a dramatic, generous, crowd-pleasing style of Margaux."

Vinum: Komplexe Nase mit floralen Noten, Nelken, dahinter reife Cassisfrucht; am Gaumen mit satter Frucht und noch merklich Holz, sehr gute Struktur, feinkörniges Gerbstoff; im Abgang rotfruchtig und mit viel Würze. Dürfte mit dem Ausbau noch zulegen."

Jeb Dunnuck: A serious, fruit-forward wine, the 2025 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry is showing a lot of oak at the moment, yet it still brings beautiful purity of fruit. Ripe red and black fruits, spicy oak, graphite, and smoky, tobacco-like nuances all define the aromatics, and on the palate, it's medium-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel and ripe tannins. I suspect it's going to integrate its oak over the course of its élevage and will be an outstanding wine."
