Château Mangot 2022

Château Mangot 2022 - Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé

From the estate

Rated 95/100 by Parker and 95/100 by James Suckling.

The 2022 Château Mangot opens with seductive aromas of ripe cherries, petals, and licorice. With a generous, medium-to-full texture, it is distinguished by its density and depth, combining elegance and complexity.

Its concentrated character, driven by vibrant fruit, rests on fine, delicately powdery tannins, providing balance and structure. Harmonious and multidimensional, this wine stands out as the estate's most accomplished to date.

At its peak between 2027 and 2045, it promises delightful surprises in blind tastings, easily rivaling much more renowned wines.

Fun fact: Mangot's first vintage as a Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion.
