Chateau Magnol Haut-Medoc 2023

Chateau Magnol Haut-Médoc 2023 is a refined and structured Bordeaux red blend that serves as the flagship wine and headquarters for the historic Barton & Guestier house. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, this vintage is noted for its "crystalline precision," offering a brilliant ruby colour and an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, black cherry, and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet harmonious, balancing ripe, silky tannins with a long, savory finish featuring hints of vanilla, liquorice, and toasted oak from its 12-month maturation in French oak barrels. Sourced from a 30-hectare vineyard with sand and gravel soils near Bordeaux, it is certified High Environmental Value (HVE) Level 3, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture.

A solid and structured red with medium body and very fine, compact tannins. Succulent and lively with good focus and length.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This estate,'s vineyards at the southern end of the Haut-Médoc region close to the city of Bordeaux, has produced a smooth, ripe wine. The spice and licorice aroma lead to black currant flavors and balanced juicy acidity, with touches of the wood aging coming through at the end. Drink from 2028.
