  • Robert Parker, February 2013, Score: 92

    Attractive and elegant, as it always is, with hints of sweet strawberries, crushed chalk, raspberries and cherries, the wine is medium-bodied, relatively rich for a Magdelaine, with an attractive, heady mouthfeel and more suppleness, glycerin and power than this wine – usually a finesse-styled St.-Emilion – normally possesses. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. In the new St.-Emilion classification, this wine has been fully absorbed by the Moueix family’s other nearby historic estate, Belair-Monange, so this 2010 is something of a collector’s item.Drink: 2013-2033

  • Decanter, April 2011, Score: 16.5

    Sweet, ripe berry fruit nose - open and showy. Supple and round on the palate. A minerally, calcaire nuance on the finish but seems a little heavy and ponderous. Drink 2018-2030.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2011, Score: 16.5

    Mid crimson. Very heady nose – quite intense. Lovely sumptuous fruit. Very forward. Very fine tannins almost disguised by the plumpness of the fruit. Perhaps not for the very long term? Sappy and refreshing. Not straining to impress. Drink 2017-2025

  • Wine Spectator, April 2011, Score: 94-97

    Plump, with a big core of plum and cherry. Long and silky, with a weighty finish. Typically two-thirds from calcaire and one-third from clay, but equal parts in 2010 due to replanting of some blocks. Tasted non-blind. -J.M.

Château Magdelaine

The famous Libourne firm of J.P.Moueix has run this 11 hectare property since 1952. The proportion Merlot grapes in the blend is the highest of any well known Château.

The famous Libourne firm of J.P.Moueix has run this 11 hectare property since 1952. The proportion Merlot grapes in the blend is the highest of any well known Château. One might imagine this to give the wine a softness and forwardness that all those who have tasted it, would well know is not present. Some would call its style an old fashioned St.Emilion. This is due to the techniques of harvesting and vinification (long fermentation and early harvest). Tannic, and slow to evolve, this wine needs 5-7 years to reveal its character. "Never massive or powerful, it is a wine of finesse." - Robert Parker.Vine plantings are 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.Read less

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
