Château Magdelaine 1988, from the limestone soils of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, is a Merlot of rare elegance. Its aromas of dark fruit, tobacco, and undergrowth are joined by a silky, mineral palate. To be enjoyed now alongside red meats or aged cheeses.
Nestled on the limestone slopes of Saint-Émilion, this historic estate embodies the quiet elegance of an exceptional terroir, shaped by generations of expertise.
- Terroir : Clay-limestone soils on the plateaus and slopes of Saint-Émilion, where Merlot flourishes with finesse, carried by a chalky minerality.
- Vinification : Traditional methods combining respect for the fruit and precision, yielding wines of harmonious suppleness and subtle tension.
