The Wine
The Haut-Médoc is home to many sought-after crus classés but, for “some of the best value Bordeaux”, says the Financial Times, you should look to the crus bourgeois estates. And Malescasse is “the best cru bourgeois of the last 20 years” (Clive Coates MW). Its vineyards occupy a prime site in the Haut-Médoc, surrounded by some of Bordeaux’s most prestigious estates. Since 1824 Malescasse has thrived under numerous patrons, including the Tesseron family of Pontet Canet. In 2003 it was upgraded to cru bourgeois superior, confirming its position as one of the finest. The 2002 makes perfect drinking now. Take care with the cork. At this maturity, it'll be delicate. Don't worry if a little crumbles, it's easily removed and won't affect taste..
"Fine example of a well matured Bordeaux red that lingers on the palate and is soft on the mouth"
