Chateau Magnol

Notes - The Médoc is situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. Its 15,000 ha of vines (37,500 acres) cover a strip of about 5 km wide and 80 km long. They benefit from an ideal microclimate due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde. The extremely poor soil, which is essentially composed of sand and gravel, is particularly suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal which brings color, strength and great aging potential. Chateau Magnol is one of the first vineyards the traveler reaches upon arriving in the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux. The 43 acre vineyard is separated from the Graves by a stream known as the Jalle de Blanquefort, an arm of the Gironde estuary. It lies on the most southeasterly knoll in the Médoc appellation, giving the vines a special exposure that allows them to develop particularly early. Ruby and brilliant. Intense and attractive nose, with red fruit aromas, liquorice notes developing with aeration. Well-constituted in the mouth, firm and balanced, with strong and long fruity flavours (blackcurrant).
