Chateau Clos La Madeleine

Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe

93/100 | Antonio Galloni: "The 2018 Clos La Madeleine is rich, creamy and expansive just as it was from barrel. Crushed red berries, flowers, mint, blood orange build as this stylish, mid-weight Saint-milion shows off its considerable charm. Silky tannins round things out in style. Clos Madeleine is understated and shy at the moment, but it has a ton to offer."91/100 | Neal Martin: "The 2018 Clos la Madeleine is ripe and exuberant on the nose, offering red plum, mulberry and blood orange scents; earthier notes develop with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with dark berries, that white pepper that I noticed out of barrel not accentuated in bottle. Quite spicy toward the end, although it just misses a little depth on the granular finish, I suspect because I tasted it so soon after bottling. Give it two or three years in bottle and I am sure it will improve."
