2009 | Clos la Madeleine

Aromas of minerals, flowers and cool fruit, follow through to a medium-to-full body, with well-integrated tannins and a racy tannin structure.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The wine is an impressive blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, made under the supervision of Hubert de Bouard. I don’t think Clos La Madeleine has ever made a better wine. This 2009 has liqueur of dusty chalk intermixed with red and black fruits, hints of blackberry and black cherry, and loads of full-bodied opulence yet great structure and definition. This is a sleeper of the vintage and a personal best for Clos La Madeleine, long under the radar of wine consumers.

• Wine Spectator: Aromas of minerals, flowers and cool fruit, follow through to a medium-to-full body, with well-integrated tannins and a racy tannin structure.

Producer Information

Clos la Madeleine is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé property situated on prime land just southwest of Saint-Emilion town, in the northeast of the Bordeaux wine region. The estate, which is sometimes also titled Château Clos la Madeleine, was acquired by well-known Right Bank Bordeaux négociant firm Jean-Pierre Moueix in 2017.Effectively a single-vineyard estate, the Clos la Madeleine vineyard covers 2.3 hectares (5.6 acres) within the Château Belair-Monange property (itself owned by JP Moueix). The latter estate further includes the vineyards of the former Château Magdelaine property (combined with Belair-Monange by Moueix and, as such, struck from the classification).Clos la Madeleine sits on a southwest-facing site (and slopes) on the edge of the Saint-Emilion plateau (the iconic Château Ausone lies only a few hundred meters to the northeast) as it drops down into the flatter land around the Dordogne river to the south. Soils here are a typical clay-limestone mix with good drainage.
