Tasting notes
Petit Manou Médoc 2019
‘This ripe wine offers dark-chocolate flavors over tannins and young black fruit. It is dense, piled with tannins and ripe blackberry flavors.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100
Clos Manou Médoc 2019
‘The 2019 Clos Manou has a ripe, extroverted bouquet of black cherries, mulberry, rose petal and slight confit aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins, fleshy and generous. The smooth, spicy, voluminous finish is irresistible. Can I say "yummy" in a professional note? Yummy.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100
‘From an 18-hectare estate planted at a density of around 10,000 vines per hectare, the 2019 Clos Manou is a serious wine. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper, licorice and espresso roast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with terrific concentration, lively acids and plenty of ripe, powdery tannin that will reward a bit of bottle age. It's closed with an Ardeaseal technical cork as used by Burgundy's Domaine Ponsot among others. This estate merits a mention in any list of Bordeaux's finest under-the-radar producers.’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 92+/100
