Magdelaine

Robert Parker (Feb 2013)
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.
