Château Malescasse is an estate in the Haut-Médoc, in Bordeaux, located between Margaux and Saint-Julien in the commune of Lamarque. Since 2012 it has belonged to Vignobles Austruy of Philippe Austruy, who has chosen to tend his vines with the same care reserved for a cru classé.

The vineyards lie on the gravel croupes of the Médoc, the gravelly rises that characterize the great wines of Bordeaux, where Merlot and Cabernet express themselves in harmony. The Haut-Médoc, an appellation recognized since 1935, covers about a third of the Médoc and has long been home to many grands crus classés and crus bourgeois.

With the arrival of the new ownership, the estate was reimagined with a no-compromise approach to quality: the 19th-century chartreuse was restored and the winery was designed to handle grapes, fermentations and aging at their best. Since 2020 Malescasse has been classified Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, an accolade that rewards the work of a tight-knit team and the investments made. The estate also holds Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, the third level of environmental certification, reserved for companies with high biodiversity and very few chemical inputs.

The grand vin is born after numerous tastings and seeks depth, balance and elegance for long aging. The second wine, conceived from the outset as a cuvée in its own right, has a more approachable style and receives the same care. Alongside the wines, the château offers hospitality in the 19th-century residence.

Gravel terroir, attention to detail and respect for the environment make Château Malescasse a classic expression of the Haut-Médoc.
