Aromas of cherries, minty berries and rose petals introduce the lovely 2024 Château Mangot, a blend of 64% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon that was cropped at 41 hectoliters per hectare in biodynamic viticulture, a notably impressive achievement. Medium-bodied, succulent and seamless, it's a lively, fleshy wine that attained 13.3% natural alcohol, rewarding the gamble of waiting to pick at full maturity.
Going long on cloves and gently grilled cedar, this definitely has oak impact, and some sappy tannins, they are carefully building a wine with more ambition to age than many in the vintage; but it remains tight on the finish and a little soft on fruit.
The 2024 Mangot feels a little introverted on the nose, only gradually unfurling with light minty red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, decent mid-palate concentration and gentle grip on the lightly spiced finish. This has a bit more length than its peers and should age well in bottle.
