"We turned our garage into a makeshift wine cellar and made our first wine in 1998.” Françoise and Stéphane Dief. Which sounds impossibly idyllic! In a region of grand estates with long complicated histories the arrivistes of Clos Manou are a refreshing change. Starting with just .12ha of vines, the Diefs have patiently spent 15 years building their holding up to 18ha, along the way absorbing the obscure Cru Bourgeois of Château Cantegrive. The estate may be 'new' but amongst their holdings are Bordeaux’s oldest vines – they have a small pre-phylloxera parcel from the 1850’s. The estate is centred on the village of Saint-Christoly de Médoc in the increasingly popular area of the Haut-Médoc to the north of Saint Estèphe. All of Clos Manou’s vineyards are high-density plantings – some 10 000 vines per hectare – and all are converted to organic farming as soon as is practical. Grape variety proportions are 45% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The first wine is aged in 100% new wood. The second wine is called Petit Manou.
2025 CHRISTMAS RED BORDEAUX MIXED CASE
Nothing says Christmas quite like Claret. It's a tradition as fundamental to the British festive table as the roast itself a love affair that goes back centuries as the perfect, savoury partner to a hearty winter feast.
But in a world of endless choice, how do you find a Claret that truly delivers? That's our job. We've built this case as a modern tribute to that grand tradition, a 12-bottle box of wonders, packed with insider secrets and unbelievable value. This is your Christmas Claret, sorted.
We've covered all the bases:
For the Classicist: We've got the 2016 Château Fourcas Borie from the star-studded 2016 vintage, a superb wine from the stable of Bruno Borie (of Ducru-Beaucaillou). Alongside it, the 2014 Château Tronquoy-Lalande, made by the exact same team as Château Montrose and a beautiful, classic St Estèphe that is drinking perfectly now.
The Right Bank Bargain: The 2021 Château Montaiguillon is simply a standout bargain. The talented winemaker, Mathieu Ternault, even worked a summer in our Chelsea shop! It's elegant and, as Victoria Moore says, 'unfolds like swags of crimson... velvet'.
The Insider's Secret: Want the wine the 'insiders' drink? The 2022 Château Tour du Moulin comes from Vincent Dupuch , a quiet consultant for giants like Petrus, Ausone, and Lafleur. This is his own estate , and it's all about finesse and a supple line.
The Modern & The Plush: We've included the 2019 Clos Manou, a garage wine story that has become super plush, (Neal Martin just called it "Yummy"). Plus, the 2019 Les Tours de Beaumont, the second wine of Château Beaumont, which is owned by the same team as Château Beychevelle.
This is the one box you need for a very Claret Christmas.
