Chateau Magneau is an ancient estate run by the Ardurats family, the direct descendants of a line of wine growers from before the reign of Henri IV. Twenty-five hectares are devoted to producing white Graves and the varieties planted are 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Semillon and 10% Muscadelle, while the vines are on average 30 years old. Harvesting is done by hand and the grapes are sorted before being taken, intact, to the press. Each varieties vinified separately in stainless steel vats at low temperatures so as to preserve all the grapes' aromatic potential as a result Chateau Magneau white wines are very fruity. Their bouquet, sparkling while young, evolves over the years without losing any of its intensity as this pale yellow coloured wine develops the classic grave style. (12 x 75 cl)

Made from a blend of Sauvignon and Semillon grapes with a superb nose of vegetal overtones. A very attractive, clean, refreshing, dry wine with a long finish. Enjoyable with fish, chicken or poultry dishes. (6 x 75 cl)

Quite full-bodied but with elegant apple aromas and a clean lively grapey flavour, but with added weight and a smoothness in the mouth. Ideal with seafood and picnic lunches. (6 x 75 cl)

Bouquet of honey and citrus fruit with some floral notes. Undertones of vanilla. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Magneau is an ancient estate run by the Ardurats family, the direct descendants of a line of wine growers from before the reign of Henri IV. The fruit is produced from strictly selected plots and the wine is made up of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc. Once in the winery the stalks are removed before pressing and the juice is left to macerate on the skins for eight to twelve hours. That makes it fuller, fleshier, and gives a long-lasting flavour, while it is then better prepared for its stay in the oak barrels where it will ferment. The wine is then matured in the barrel of wine lees for nine months. The result of this care in the winery is a wine with toast aromas, full-bodied and fleshy in the mouth, showing flavours of pears and white berries. (12 x 75 cl)

Minerally on the nose, slightly spicy with mixed fruits coming through: typically well-balanced Graves white wine. (6 x 75 cl)
