From: Bordeaux, France
Varietal: 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: A focused and powerful red with dark-berry, fresh herb, and mineral character. Full body, firm, and intense tannins yet polished and focused. A young red with focus and beauty. Drink in 2020 and beyond.
In 1980, Anne Marie, the youngest of the PETIT daughters, gave up her pharmacy studies to come back to the family property.
In 1981, she married Jean-Guy Todeschini: a master stonemason by trade, and he gradually came to support her more and more at Mangot.
Until 1989, Anne-Marie and Jean-Guy would share the running of the two family businesses and bringing up their young sons, Karl (born in 1982) and Yann (1984): two budding wine growers…
From 1989 to 1998, they completely transformed the vineyards at Mangot (re-structuring, re-planting, terracing, and drainage works) to bring on the quality in leaps and bounds, year after year, and finally obtain the GRAND CRU label for the estate’s 34 hectares.
In 2001, it was the turn of all the buildings to be modernized, a return to his roots for Jean-Guy, a stonemason and architect at heart…
From 1996 to 2008, they traveled in France and abroad to promote the new face of Mangot and look for partners.
On top of their boundless energy and capacity for hard work, thanks to their perspective gained outside the wine world, Jean-Guy and Anne Marie have revived and renewed Mangot, restructuring the vineyards and the cellar, with a single goal in mind: Quality.
