Solid red with blackberry, blueberry, chocolate and spice. Lots of hazelnut, too. It’s full-bodied with chewy, polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Best of the trilogy vintages?

A tight and focused young red with redcurrant and blackberry character. It’s medium-bodied with racy and fine tannins and a linear, focused finish. Lots going on, yet it’s tight and energetic.

There are two cuvées from Château Mangot, which is located in the eastern region of Saint-Emilion. Starting with the 2019 Château Magot, this ruby/purple-colored 2019 offers a juicy bouquet of black raspberries, mulberries, spring flowers, unsmoked tobacco, and a hint of chocolaty oak. Medium-bodied, elegant, and with an incredible floral, spicy character, it has ripe yet present tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It should certainly be an outstanding wine, if not a true hidden gem.

Wine Advocate (94)

The 2020 Mangot has turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, blood orange and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's pure and vibrant, with a layered core of fruit, velvety tannins and a long, mouthwateringly chalky finish. This is a brilliant wine that sells for a song and which surpasses many of its more well-known neighbors.

Aromas of sweet cherries, petals and licorice introduce the 2022 Château Mangot, a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered wine that's suave and multidimensional, its concentrated core of lively fruit built around sweet, powdery tannins. It's the finest Mangot I've tasted to date, and a decade from now, readers will have a lot of fun including this in blind tastings against more famous names.

A blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Château Mangot displays a rare combination of immediate charm and underlying structure. It reveals aromas of mulberries, fresh licorice, rose petals, bay leaf and pencil shavings, subtly accented by coriander. Dense and deep, layered and structured, it is built around a lively core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a long, saline and ethereal finish.

The 2021 Manoir de Gay has a light blackberry and sous-bois scented nose that needs more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, leathery black fruit with a saline finish. Not bad, though it lacks real excitement.
