> Château Magnol 2010 celebration

For a couple of years (vintages of 2008 and 2009), Mother Nature put a halt to the development of the Château MAGNOL production. 2 hail storms in a row (unheard of by Bernard our winemaker for 40 years) had drastically shortened the yields, forcing us to put our best customers on allocations for the past 3 years.

This has not really harmed the success of our flagship wine and we have been able to measure the great demand for it from all around the world.

To celebrate the release of the 2010 vintage that produced 15,000 cases of an extraordinary quality, we are pleased to propose you a Double Magnum of one of the old vintages of Château Magnol for any order of 25 cases of 12 x75 cl Château Magnol 2010 in wooden cases!*

The old vintages (1998 - 1996 - 1995 - 1994 - 1993 - 1989 - 1988 - 1986) will be assigned on a first come-first serve basis for all orders received between September 1 and 30 or until stock depletion. Just indicate your preference with your order!

The 2010 vintage of Château Magnol - AOC Haut Médoc - Cru Bourgeois - offers an intense colour. The nose is complex with aromas of ripe red fruit, as well as coffee and vanilla notes. The aromatic palette shows notes of blackcurrant and cherry. A well-balanced wine with a long soft finish.

The 2011 vintage is still ageing in oak barrels and the grapes of the 2012 vintage are still on the vines. Follow their ripening in the Best Practice section of this newsletter or on our Fanpage on Facebook!
 * only 1 promotion per order can be applied.
