Chateau Mangot Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019

Description

Chateau Mangot Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019

Owned and run by the Todeschini family since 1952, brothers Karl and Yann, grandchildren of the original owners, assumed responsibility for production at Chteau Mangot in 2008. With a recent focus on the development of their 34 hectares of vines their wines are well worthy of exploration. Situated between near the village of Saint-tienne-de-Lisse at the eastern end of St-milion the area’s clay-limestone soils are good for producing full, intense wines with a good minerality.

Critical Acclaim

92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Bursting from the glass with notes of plus, sweet red berries and hints of licorice, the 2019 Mangot is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with beautifully powdery tannins and a succulent core of fruit. Giving, charming and lively, it has turned out very well. Traditional barriques are complemented by amphorae in the chai. Best After 2021

91 James Suckling

Dark cherries, dark plums, chocolate, fruit peel and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins. Juicy and textured with a slightly chewy finish.

90 Jeb Dunnuck

Floral and herbal, with pretty red fruits as well as subtle notes of cumin, celery seed, leather, and spice, the 2019 Chteau Mangot is medium-bodied on the palate, with a supple, elegant mouthfeel, ripe yet nicely integrated tannins, and outstanding length. It’s going to keep for 15 years or more. Best After 2022.
