Nestled in the far eastern reaches of the Saint-Émilion appellation, Château Mangot consists of 37 hectares with a diversity of clay-limestone soils. Whilst vines are naturally the star of the show for the estate’s current guardians, the Todeschini family, 15% of the estate consists of hedges, woods and embankments, which contribute to a rich biodiversity. The estate was promoted to Grand Cru Classé status in 2022 in recognition of their consistently well made, polished wines and their commitment to biodiversity and the environment.
Brothers Yann and Karl look after the vineyard management and winemaking themselves and are committed to following sound ecological practises. A lightness of touch and genuine care flows through everything they do; from protecting the soils using only natural fertilisers, to the use of native yeasts and only the very tiniest amount of SO2 in the winery.
Made from a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes come from vineyards comprised of a selection of different soil types and aspects, from clay-limestone hillsides to a limestone plateau, at 35-90 m altitude. Average age of the vines is 40 years
Tasting Notes: Complex aromas of bramble fruit with herbal notes and a touch of spice. The palate is plush with ripe plum and berry characters, fine tannins, well-integrated oak, and fresh acidity giving balance on the long and elegant finish.
Food match: Perfect with Chateaubriand and lashings Béarnaise sauce.
