Producer & history – Château Magdelaine

Château Magdelaine is one of the most legendary estates of Saint-Émilion. Its origins date back several centuries, and it was classified Premier Grand Cru Classé in the original Saint-Émilion classification of 1954. The vineyard was located on exceptional limestone and clay soils on the Saint-Émilion plateau, planted predominantly with Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

For many decades, Château Magdelaine was owned by the Moueix family, one of Bordeaux’s most respected wine dynasties, renowned for their rigorous vineyard management and traditional, terroir-driven winemaking style. Production was always limited, and the wines were known for their finesse, balance and remarkable ageing potential.

In 2012, Château Magdelaine was officially merged with Château Bélair-Monange, making older vintages such as 1983 increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors.
