A Legacy of Elegance: Château Magdelaine

As a former Premier Grand Cru Classé B, Château Magdelaine holds a revered place in the history of Saint-Émilion. Its wines are a masterful expression of the appellation's clay-limestone plateau, showcasing a classic Right Bank profile of grace, complexity, and exceptional longevity. Vintages of Magdelaine are true collector's items.

Sommelier's Notes: The Art of Aging

The Magdelaine wine is largely Merlot-based, allowing for a soft, approachable character even in its youth, yet possessing the backbone to evolve into a tertiary masterpiece. It is the epitome of a sophisticated Bordeaux.

• **Appearance:** A rich garnet hue that softens to a mature ruby/brick edge.
• **Aroma:** Elegant bouquet featuring mature red berries, forest floor, subtle tobacco leaf, and the prized scent of black truffle.
• **Flavour:** Smooth, medium-bodied, with perfectly resolved, silky tannins. The persistent finish is clean, fresh, and speaks directly of its mineral-rich terroir.

Food Pairing & Serving

A wine of this stature demands classic cuisine. We recommend serving it slightly below room temperature (16-18°C) and allowing older bottles to breathe for a short time to shed any sediment and release their full complexity.
