Situated to the east of the Saint-Emilion appellation, within the boundaries of Saint Étienne de Lisse, Château Mangot consists of 37 hectares. These different terroirs include 21 separate plots at altitudes varying between 35 and 86 metres, the highest point in the appellation. The diversity of clay-limestone terroirs is what makes for interesting final blends, providing consistency in quality, whilst preserving the identity of the terroir and the typical character of the vintages. Chateau Mangot vinify with minimal intervention, as naturally as possible. "Our wines are what happens when a passionate family meets a rich and generous terroir."
Jane Anson: 93/100
Vibrant ruby in colour plenty of violet reflections, attractive En Primeur colour and aromatics, with estate signature. Pretty fresh acidities, a little overly sharp, but there is plenty of raspberry and redcurrant fruit to counterbalance, and the whole thing feels full of life and tension. Todeschini family, Thomas Duclos consultant. 34ha, 25% new oak for ageing.
