A blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc, the medium garnet-purple colored 2018 Clos la Madeleine starts off just a little broody, soon giving way to very pretty scents of tilled soil, rose hip tea and fallen leaves over a core of warm redcurrants, chocolate-covered cherries and baked plums plus a hint of wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate possesses loads of zip with vivacious red and black fruits and a racy line of freshness backed up by a chewy texture, finishing long and earthy. Not sure what the price is, but I’m imagining there’s a lot of bang for your buck here!
A tight and focused red with dark-berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium to full body. Racy finish.
Attractive fruit with fragrant morello, red-fruit notes. Hint of vanilla oak but well integrated. Palate supple but dense, the texture smooth and the tannins very fine. Clean finish and a freshness from start to finish. (JL)
