Château Malescasse: Tasting & Drinking
In my hunt for good value cuvées from the gravel vineyards of the Haut-Médoc appellation Château Malescasse seemed like a very promising port of call. Well-situated, apparently on a fairly deep gravel bed (even if the local topography certainly doesn’t really resemble the imposing gravel beds seen in grander appellations), with maturing vineyards and a committed proprietor with the financial ability to invest, there is much here to give us hope. Acknowledged, the vineyards may not be as rich in Cabernet Sauvignon as I might have hoped, there being a predominance of Merlot, although that does not necessarily translate through into the wine.
