瑪德蘭堡的風格類似L’Arrosee堡，堅持傳統的個性，在目前的聖艾美濃區吹的是”garage wine”車庫酒與現代風，這款有地方典型高雅氣質與充滿礦物香氣的酒款，似乎有點過氣了。自1952年有名的Jean-Pierre Moueix接掌了本堡後，許多專家認為她是有相當大的潛力。使用90%高比率的美露品種，有些人會認為她是款柔順且早熟的酒款，但因為本堡採早收成、長時間發酵期，而且壓榨時加些葡萄莖，增加了酒質的單寧感，她是款需要5-7年陳年期才可展露原本個性的酒款。

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. I was not particularly enamoured by the 2006 Château Magdelaine from barrel, so after ten years, the question remains...was I too mean? Maybe. That said, I find the aromatics here more diffuse than the 2006 Canon-la-Gaffelière, missing Magdelaine's usual cohesion and finesse. The palate is stocky, brittle in the mouth with dry tannin, tarry red berry fruit, a dash of white pepper with quite an austere finish. While I accept that I may have been harsh in barrel all those years ago, fact is, there are far superior wines from this "discontinued" estate out there. Tasted January 2016.
