Château Magdelaine

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1972

Fading but not entirely lacking in charm, with appealing leather and bell pepper on the nose and some red fruit remaining on the palate. — 14 days ago

Clos La Madeleine

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

1995 vintage. This tiny (2,3 hectares) Grand Cru Classé has been bought by the Moueix family and incorporated in the Premier Grand Cru Classé Belair-Monange ( that was already a mix of Belair and Magdelaine). There are several historical names that disappeared as they were incorporated in other estates, which is a bit sad given the quality and personality of some of these wines. If this 29 years old beauty is any indication, Clos La Madeleine deserves to stand on its own, but obviously, it's financially more interesting to sell it as a Premier Grand Cru Classé. This 1995 is drinking beautifully now. Crushed strawberries, roses, a hint of truffle, leather, and a distinctive minerality. Very much under the radar, but a beautiful elegant Saint-Emilion, with finesse and length. Abv. 12,5% — 8 months ago

Château Pavie Macquin

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1964

A lovely surprise. Reminded me a bit of the magdelaine 59 which is a great compliment. — 9 years ago
