4.5 Stars & 92 Points
A lovely traditional style Cru Bourgeois from the famous Barton & Guestier house, this is complex on the nose displaying dark berry, leather, game and mixed spice with nuances of cigar and floral. It is beautifully weighted with fine texture and elegant mouthfeel, firmly structured by mouth-coating tannins. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. At its best: now to 2022.

Patience is key with this subtle Left Bank Bordeaux, so make sure you decant to release flavors of dark, dried fig, date and cocoa from the delicate blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc. It’s gentle balance pairs well with mushroom-based dishes, goat cheese and walnuts. getwineonline.com

Dine Out - Lilyane Weston (United Kingdom) September 1999
"Typical of many Crus Bourgeois, Château Magnol, the gateway to the Medoc, is separated from the Graves by a tributary of the Gironde estuary, known as the Jalle de Blanquefort. Its 17 hectare vineyard, the most southerly in the Medoc, surrounds the Chartreuse, an attractive single-storey manor house. Having tasted vintages of Château Magnol from 1982, I was most impressed by the level of quality of the recent vintages. Under the guidance of winemaker Guy Sarton du Jonchay, who worked several years in South America, the wines have changed in style, and have become more consumer friendly whilst still respecting tradition and terroir. They also represent excellent value for money."
