A recent\u00a0article by Victoria Moore in the Telegraph spoke of the ancient vines belonging to St\u00e9phane Dief of Clos Manou – and pointed to his 2009 CLOS MANOU M\u00e9doc<\/strong> <\/a>as a top value ‘under the radar’ wine.<\/p>\n

\"2009-CLOS-MANOU-Medoc\"<\/p>\n

“Driving to Clos Manou at Saint Christoly M\u00e9doc always reminds me of that bit in C\u2009S Lewis\u2019s Voyage of the Dawn Treader where they sail to the edge of the earth. Leaving the city of Bordeaux behind, you pass the commune of Margaux, then St Est\u00e8phe, the estuary of the Gironde widening on your right. The elegant buildings grow more sparse, the sky seems to get bigger and you feel closer to it: the place feels forgotten, in a \u201chere be dragons\u201d kind of way….<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“At Clos Manou, they might only have made their first wine in 1998, but they have the oldest cabernet sauvignon vineyard in Bordeaux \u2013 great, gnarled vines thought to have been planted in the 1850s.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“There is a particular flavour to the wines up here. They are broader and less edgy than reds from farther south. I often find what my mind logs as black coal-dust and black (as opposed to red) berries, but with a more open, new-worldy feel. If I were looking for a bordeaux to unite both left (M\u00e9doc) and right (St \u00c9milion et al) bank fans, this is where I\u2019d come.”<\/em><\/p>\n

You may remember this photo of St\u00e9phane from our 2012 primeur campaign, with one of the 1850s vines:-<\/p>\n
