Bordeaux - 3 / 3

This Château Mangot 2019 has a demonstrative, gourmand nose on black fruit notes just accompanied by a touch of breeding. The palate is round and greedy, resting on a beautiful substance and fine tannins.

Like in 1900 from the Château Cazebonne is an original wine made from old Bordeaux grape varieties. The wine develops original notes of potpourri, cinnamon and peach. A blend of old grape varieties: mancin, castets, bouchalès, saint-macaire and jurançon noir, this 2022 maintains a direct relationship with the fruit, but it's hard to imagine such a wine expression in Bordeaux. A balance between concentration and salient uprightness, a touch punchy.'

RVF: 92/100

The Château Mangot 2022 is the Todeschini family’s Saint-Émilion Grand Cru: a red wine dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with vibrant fruit and fine tannins. Best cellared for about ten years.
