Château Magdelaine

The winery near the town of Saint-Émilion (Bordeaux) was founded in 1863 by the Chatonnet family with the purchase of five hectares of vineyards. After several changes of ownership, it came into the possession of the Moueix family empire in 1952, which also owns the famous Château Pétrus in Pomerol, among many others. The vineyards comprised 11 hectares of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lasting red wine was matured for 20 months in 50% new barriques and named "Pétrus of Saint-Émilion" due to the similarity. The second wine was called "Château Saint Brice"). The estate, classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé B, was incorporated into Château Bélair-Monange in 2012.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
