Chateau Mangot 2016 (Saint-Émilion)

Posted on January 9, 2021

bottle of chateau mangot wine with carafe

This Bordeaux-style red blend is mostly merlot, with a touch of cab franc and cab sauvignon, giving it a smooth, fruit-focused character. Drinking this bottle in 2021 found the tannins almost entirely subdued. A shy berry slowly gives way to cedar and spice making this extremely drinkable right now.
