2007 Clos la Madelaine

This is the recently resurrected 2 ha on the Côtes between Belair and Magdeleine and now made, like an increasing number of properties, with help from Hubert de Boüard of Angélus. Good lift, if a suggestion of moss on the nose. Very fresh and well integrated – just the merest hint of overripeness but lots of energy too. Overall this one falls the right side of acceptable because it has so much mulberry fruit. Pretty flattering even if not at all typical for the vintage. Well done! (JR)
