2022 Ch. Mangot Saint Emilion Grand Cru En Primeur
En Primeur product: order now for arrival mid 2025. A great value prospect in Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Mangot has a long history but a rising reputation has been established by the Todeschini family, under whose ownership it has been slowly going from strength to strength. With varied soils that carry good plantings of old vines — including plots of Merlot that are well over 60 years old — Chateau Mangot is a serious option at this modest price. Unlike other retailers (who charge a second payment on arrival), our En Primeur prices are the total and final landed cost, including GST. With the changing economic situation and foreign exchange risk, we do this to ensure you have complete certainty over what you will pay.
Grape
Mainly Merlot with some Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon
Its Origins
What we know of as Chateau Mangot today has a long history in the Right Bank that dates all the way back to 1546. However, the modern era for Chateau Mangot starts in 1976 when the vineyard was purchased by Jean Guy Todeschini. Prior to 1976, The Todeschini owned a smaller, neighboring estate, Chateau de Lisse. In 1976, the properties were combined, giving Chateau Mangot a much larger vineyard. Chateau Mangot is located due east in Saint Emilion, and is perhaps the last vineyard in the appellation before reaching the Cotes de Castillon appellation. The 35-hectare vineyard of is planted to 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard has a terroir of clay and limestone soils. The vineyard is divided into 21 separate parcels, based on a combination of soil types and exposures. They have old vines which average about 40 years of age. However, some of their Merlot parcels are more than 60 years old. They have good neighbors. Located in the cooler soils found in the Saint Etienne De Lisse sector of St. Emilion. They are not far from Chateau Faugeres, Chateau de Pressac, Chateau Fleur Cardinale and Valandraud. Wine Cellar Insider
What The Critics Say
95/100 Falstaff, Peter Moser
“Deep dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, DELICATE rim brightening. Delicate ripe cherry fruit underlay with nougat, hints of plums and liquorice, fresh orange zest, inviting bouquet. Complex, juicy and savoury, red cherries, pleasant sweetness, ripe tannins, good freshness, mineral and long lasting, secure certain ageing potential.”
94-95/100 James Suckling
“A juicy and solid young St Emilion with crushed stone, hints of large grains of sea salt and a black berry character throughout. Full and chewy, but polished. New Grand Cru. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.”
93-95/100 Wine Advocate, William Kelley
“A wine that gets my nod as this dynamic estate's finest to date is the 2022 Mangot, a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered wine evocative of cherries, dark berries, licorice and rose petals. Deep, concentrated and fleshy, with a vibrant core of fruit and a long, mouthwatering finish, this seamless, complete Saint-Émilion is sure to be one of the best purchases of the en primeur campaign.”
