Tasted on day 1 in Bordeaux, with much anticipation after the success it was last year. Pleasingly this is again beautifully put together. Richly laden with ripe berries and plump, sweet flesh - the 2021 Mangot stays just on track with a firm frame too, tempering the full-blown mid-palate. An exuberant 2021, and still great value at this price level.
Clever élevage is the key to maintaining that impressive and attractive fruit bundle - with just 30% new oak being used, 40% in 1 and 2 year old barrels, 20% in amphora, 10% in stainless steel vats. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. L&S (Apr 2022)

Red berry fruit, dried flowers and anise on the nose. Fresh, elegant and bright with a medium body, tight tannins and firm finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2025. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jul 2024)
On the slim and savoury side in bottle, fennel and rasperry and blueberry fruits, austere but with sculpted tannins and architecture. Enjoyable stuff from brothers Karl and Yann Todeschini. An upscore. Drinking range: 2026 - 2040 Rating: 90 Jane Anson, Decanter (Mar 2024)
The 2021 Mangot is a dense, burly wine. Dark-fleshed fruit, herbs, menthol, licorice, spice, tobacco and incense build nicely in the glass. Angular contours are hard to fully get past, yet the 2021 is nicely done. Drinking range: 2025 - 2036 Rating: 88 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2024)
Château Mangot
A single block of 37 hectares of vines on limestone clay soils run by the Todeschini family. The vineyard is planted with 75% Merlot, although this is tending to give way to Cabernet Franc in new plantings. 5% Cabernet Sauvignon completes the mix. Farming is organic, and the estate was awarded the Robert Parker 'Green Emblem' in 2023.
Élevage is in a mix of barrels, foudres and amphorae.
