Chateau Malescasse Haut-Medoc Le Moulin Rose De Malescasse 2018 750 ML

A wet winter and spring resulted in heterogeneous flowering and outbreaks of mildew. We had to keep a close eye on the vineyard! The bud burst was delayed due to a dry and cold February. May and June were also particularly rainy. On the other hand, a dry summer resulted in grapes with a high concentration. During August, intermittent showers ensured the growth cycle was not hindered. Some rain in September alternated with lovely sunny days and, when combined with a temperature which was 3° above the usual average, enabled the grapes to reach full ripeness. The grape harvest went smoothly. In terms of quality, this 2018 vintage is considered to be one of the best of its kind, although it was produced in low quantities.
Chateau 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 modernised winery enables the precise vinification of small batches.
