Taken over in 1992 by a small band of passionate wine lovers, this family group of chateaux (Clos La Madeleine, Châteaux Magnan La Gaffelière and La Tandonne) has benefited from ongoing modernisation that has always respected  tradition.

Clos La Madeleine and Château Magnan La Gaffelière are both very old:
the former existed already in 1841 and there are written documents about the latter dating back to 1777.

Our vineyard

- 30 km (181/2 miles) north-east of Bordeaux on the right bank of the mighty Gironde river
- Saint-Emilion Grand Cru and Saint Emilion appellation areas
- Main grape variety: Merlot with Cabernet Franc

Our three wines

These three wines come from different terroirs, which together total 14 hectares (nearly 35 acres) of vines:

- Clos La Madeleine with its 2.5 hectares (6 acres), its vathouse, cellar and quarries, located next to the town of Saint-Emilion right in the middle of the southerly slopes between châteaux Magdelaine and Bel Air
- Château Magnan La Gaffelière: 10.5 hectares (26 acres) of vines with its own cellar and vathouse
- Château La Tandonne: 1 hectare (21/2 acres) of vines growing in the plain.
