Clos la Madeleine is perfect gestructureerd, zuiver en klassevol. Hij is efficiënt in een lichtere, fijnere stijl dan zijn collega’s en net daarom zo aantrekkelijk. 2,3 hectare op klei over kalk. 76% Merlot en 24% Cabernet Franc. IN DE PERS 93 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Maart 2021) 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-Émilion 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. Drink 2025-2038. 91-94 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (April 2019) The 2018 Clos La Madeleine is an attractive, somewhat laid back Saint-Émilion that holds itself with terrific poise and stature. Bright red cherry fruit and floral notes convey freshness, but there is a good bit of textural depth as well. A wine of energy and persistence, Clos La Madeleine is a winner in 2018. 93-94 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2019) 94 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2019) 92-94+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) A blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2018 Clos la Madeleine starts off just a little broody, soon giving way to very pretty scents of tilled soil, rose hip tea and fallen leaves over a core of warm redcurrants, chocolate-covered cherries and baked plums plus a hint of wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate possesses loads of zip with vivacious red and black fruits and a racy line of freshness backed up by a chewy texture, finishing long and earthy. Not sure what the price is, but I’m imagining there’s a lot of bang for your buck here! 93-96 James Molesworth – winespectator.com (April 2019) 91 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Maart 2021) 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. Drink 2023-2036. 91-93 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Oktober 2019) The 2018 Clos la Madeleine was acquired by J-P Moueix in 2017. It has quite a bold bouquet with upfront red plum and cranberry fruit, pressed iris and light blood orange scents. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry. Dark berry fruit mix with white pepper and clove, perhaps more complex and involving than anticipated. The finish feels very harmonious and assured, fanning out in leisurely fashion. Superb. Drink 2023-2036. 16,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve (April 2019) 90 Jean-Marc Quarin – quarin.com (April 2019) 15,5-16/20 Revue des Vins de France – rvf.com (April 2019) 92-94 Jeff Leve – winecellarinsider.com (April 2019) Clos la MadeleineOp de hoogtes van Saint Emilion, naast Belair Monange en Canon, met verderop Ausone, Fonplégade en La Gaffelière vinden we een kleine wijngaard van 2,19 hectare, genaamd Clos la Madeleine. Beschut van de Noorderwind en dus genietend van maximale bezonning, vinden we vele étages wijnstokken op terrasses, rotsen, en ondergrondse steengroeven. Jaarlijks worden er slechts 8 à 10.000 flessen geproduceerd. De gemiddelde leeftijd van de wijngaard bedraagt 32 jaar. Sinds 2006 is Hubert de Bouard van Angélus er consulent. MoueixAls zoon van Christian en kleinzoon van Jean-Pierre, distingeert Edouard Moueix zich door de heropwaardering van één van de mooiste historische wijngaarden van Saint Emilion: Château Bélair Monange. |
