The Estate
Sitting in a direct line with Margaux to the south and Saint-Julien to the north, Château Malescasse is located in Lamarque – at the highest point of the Médoc, some 30 metres above sea level.
The 40 hectares of vineyards of the Château Malescasse sit on the crest of these famous gravelly croupes of the Medoc. Composed of varying proportions of sand, gravel and clay in layers of varying depth, they cover the limestone bedrock and hold the key to the great wines of the left bank. It is these poor, well-drained soils, combined with the mild oceanic climate, which bring out the best in the great Médoc varieties: for centuries the local cabernets and merlots have achieved a level of distinction rarely matched elsewhere.
The Château Malescasse vineyard consists of a single estate of 40 hectares, which accounts for its extraordinary consistency, while the subtle nuances between one plot and the next give the wines their complexity and balance.
