Chateau Magdelaine is an old-school style, traditionally made Bordeaux wine is located just outside of the village St. Emilion. Chateau Magdelaine has some very good neighbors. The property is situated close to Chateau Ausone, Chateau Belair-Monange, and Chateau Canon at the break of the limestone plateau.

Even though this Bordeaux wine is produced almost exclusively from Merlot, Magdelaine is not fleshy or lush in style. It is a lean, light, fresh, bright, stern, classic style of Saint Emilion wine.

"A sleeper of the vintage, this well-executed 2008 St.-Emilion exhibits a dark plum/ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a glorious bouquet of sweet black cherries, licorice and powdered limestone, a good texture, medium to full body and a pure style. Combining substance with finesse, it should age effortlessly for 15+ years." -- Wine Advocate
