Chateau Magdelaine,
For laying down,
This property has been no stranger to change over the last 20 years. But since 2005 have been on a very even keel, producing excellent wines which represent the best of the restrained, more feminine style of St Emilion which is often lost amongst the monolithic, oak driven wines which have made many headlines.
Speaking of the property and vintage in equal parts, the ripe but not overbearing fruit is constantly kept neat by the well-judged structure and refined tannins. This can be drunk now, but will develop and emerge from this wonderful primary stage over the coming 4-5 years, continuing to give excellent drinking over the following 10 years.

Château Magdelaine, was a notable 1er grand cru classé, in St-Emilion owned by the famous firm of Ets Jean-Pierre Moueix.
Magdelaine had 10.4 hectares of vineyards, of which six were on the famous St Emilion limestone ridge (very close to Ch. Ausone) and the remainder on clay- and limestone-based slopes. Merlot performs particularly well on these limestone-rich soils and at Magdelaine it is the dominant grape, making up 90 percent of the blend – a higher proportion than is found in any other Premier Grand Cru Classé from St Emilion. The final vintage of Magdelaine was 2011, before it was swallowed up by Ch. Bélair-Monange.
