La Dame de Malescot – Margaux – Red – 2012:
The Velvet Glove: La Dame de Malescot, Margaux
As the acclaimed Second Wine of Third Growth Grand Cru Classé, Château Malescot Saint-Exupéry, La Dame de Malescot delivers the signature elegance and aromatic complexity of the Margaux appellation. Produced from selected younger vines and rigorous parcel selection, it is crafted with the same exacting standards as the Grand Vin, offering a more accessible, silky expression of the estate’s revered terroir.
Tasting Profile
- Appearance: A deep, brilliant garnet red, signaling excellent depth.
- Nose: Complex and alluring, featuring dominant aromas of ripe black fruit (cassis, blackberry) lifted by Margaux’s signature floral note: violet. Subtle hints of cedar, fresh tobacco, and sweet spice emerge from the oak aging.
- Palate: The entry is supple and enveloping. Tannins are exceptionally fine and polished, providing a refined structure. The wine achieves a perfect balance between freshness and richness, culminating in a persistent, elegant finish.
Pairing & Serving
This is a must-have for any serious collector or fine dining occasion. Serve at 61-64°F (16-18°C). Decanting for one hour is highly recommended to fully unlock its aromatic potential. It’s ready to drink now but will reward short-term cellaring.
