About this Wine

Château Mangot comes from a historic vineyard dating back to 1546, and has belonged to the Todeschini family since 1989. Located east of the Saint-Emilion appellation, in the commune of Saint Etienne de Lisse, Château Mangot comprises 37 hectares in a single block, of which 34 hectares are vineyards.

The couplet is the union of two linked but very different lines of verse that form a perfectly coherent whole. The Bordeaux poet Ausonius, during the Roman Empire, relied on this asymmetrical and original form. This wine is thus enriched by the fraternal duality of apparent contradictions, juxtaposing grape varieties in an atypical way, the barrel and the rediscovered amphora, so dear to the Latin poet. A signature of the Todeschini brothers since 2008, this vintage bears a number commemorating the collaborative winemaking process of Karl and Yann.

It is aged 80% in barrels (50% new) for 14 to 16 months. It is a powerful and structured wine, complex, with a lovely freshness.

Wines from Bordeaux

Bordeaux is in the south west of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. It is the largest wine producing region in France, the vast majority being red wines. While it does make large quantities of everyday table wine, outside of Europe, it is mostly noted for producing some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.

The Garonne and Dordogne rivers run through the region and together naturally irrigate the land while the soils are rich in calcium owing to their limestone content. These two rivers connect and run through to the Atlantic Ocean splitting Bordeaux into 3 distinct parts. We have the left bank, the right bank, and the area between the two rivers called Entre-Deux-Mers.

While in Australia we often see straight Shiraz, Cabernet or Merlots, Bordeaux does not generally produce red wine without blending. The “Bordeaux Blend” is one of the most classic and popular styles of red wine that has spread throughout France as well as throughout the New World.

On the left bank, typical top-quality blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. On the right bank top quality blends are typically made of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

In general you can expect red wines from Bordeaux to taste more earthy in flavour compared to those from the New World wine regions that tend to be more fruit flavour driven.
