Medium dark rubi, robe of topsoil, cedar wood, liquorice, dark fruit. Very graceful and elegant in the mouth, mature tannins, asian spices, and a very long aftertaste. Its so unfortunate Magdelaine is no longer. Great wine. — a day ago

A lovely surprise. Reminded me a bit of the magdelaine 59 which is a great compliment. — 11 years ago

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% — 3 years ago
