Chateau Malescasse Haut-Medoc 2017

Château Malescasse is situated in the commune of Lamarque, the highest point between Margaux and Saint-Julien, right next to the Gironde estuary. Acquired by Philippe Austruy in 2012, this estate has been renowned since ancient times and possesses a superb terroir. The 40-hectare single vineyard is managed as a grand cru, and the modernized winery enables the precise vinification of small batches.
