"Merlot crafts a sophisticated and elegant wine with delicate yet admirable structure and refined red berry aromas. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (this last one from 100 year-old vines, compared to the average vine age of 60 years) bring accents of ripe and supple fruit, with mineral undertones from the limestone supplying freshness. Oak-aged for eighteen months, this wine is all about elegance and balance. Easy to enjoy on its own, it also pairs well with grilled meats and vegetables." —winemaker

"Bright crimson. Intense aromas of cherry and other red fruits, chocolate, and a slight toasted touch. A gentle, supple attack with volume and body on the mid-palette. A nice balance of fruit with toasted almond and vanilla on the finish. A fine, harmonious wine." —winemaker

"The nose presents a captivating intensity, elegance, and a strong character. On the palate, the wine is fruity, showcasing smoothness, juiciness, and a delicate richness. It has a fine density, a touch of freshness, and an energetic minerality. The flavor profile reveals notes of ripe redcurrants, subtle hints of crisp strawberries, and touches of fresh flowers. The tannins are precise and well-structured." —winemaker

"Having begun our venture in the Blaye region with Chateau Puynard in 2016, just five years on we received the keys to Chateau Magdeleine Bouhou In January 2021. Having admired the terroir here for some time, we set our sights on broadening our offering by adding another Blaye vineyard, but which offered a slightly different terroir and aspect to that of Puynard. Both vineyards have their own character, and we feel with both properties together, we have a strong offering that showcases the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation very well." —winemaker
