History

 In the heart of Haut Medoc, near the well-known « Route des châteaux », discover our wine estate: Château Malescasse. Between Margaux and Saint-Julien Beychevelle, on a gravel mound similar to those found at the first growths which made the Medoc famous, our vineyard covers 36 hectares (89 acres), and benefits from the balance of a temperate oceanic climate and optimal sunshine.

In 2012, Philippe Austruy, who is also the owner of La Commanderie de Peyrassol, one of the most prestigious growths of Provence, acquired this château with the ambition of taking it to the highest ranks of the appellation. 

He brought in Stéphane Derenoncourt, a famous winemaker, whose skill, vision, and precision work are widely acknowledged, entrusting him with the mission of taking the wines produced at the château to excellence.

 

A tasting of the delicious wines of Château Malescasse, as well as a tour of the completely refurbished and redesigned barrel cellar and vat room, are well worth the detour. 
The wines produced in the other owner’s estates will also be there for you to discover: the superb rosés, reds and whites of La Commanderie de Peyrassol as well as the stunning Portuguese dry white wine from the Douro, Quinta Da Côrte.

Winemaking

Totally renovated by the architects Marie-Amélie Austruy and François Castillon, the new wine storehouse at Château Malescasse provides the very best technical conditions for ensuring the grapes receive the same high standard of care that we give them on the vine. It is here, in this quiet, dark sanctuary, that the slow transformation of the grape into a fine wine will take place.

From the time the grapes reach the winery until the moment when the wine is bottled, the same respect for our raw materials dictates all the choices made in the vat room and the wine store. Gentle, selective methods for extracting the tannins and aromatic compounds, and extended vatting times with fermentation at carefully controlled temperatures, are followed by aging in medium-toast casks. These come from different cask makers to give even greater complexity to the wines. 

In order to maintain our desired level of excellence our premier wine accounts for no more than 45% of production at the present time. Our second wine, La Closerie de Malescasse, is assembled mainly from the youngest vines, and the blends are dictated by the nature of each vintage.
