ChâteauMangot2022–Saint-EmilionGrandCruClassé

Located east of the Saint-Emilion appellation, in the municipality of Saint Etienne de Lisse, Château Mangot has 37 hectares in a single parcel, of which 34 hectares are vineyards. Facing south, the Mangot valley or “circus” has 4 terroir areas: foothills, hillsides, terraces and plateaus. From a geological point of view, fossil-rich limestone rests on a foundation of chalky molasse (soft rock), which emerges on the slopes (15% gradient) around the limestone plateaus. This increased presence of limestone gives the Mangot wine density and wealth while preserving freshness, minerality and tension. Mangot has a nice bouquet of ripe black cherry and raspberry, with spice, vanilla and toast. The palate is medium bodied with soft tannins and good well-balanced acidity. This gives a smooth, attractive feeling with judicious use of the barrel that lengthens the finish. Simply stunning value for money!
