Decanter, April 2021

Bright plum colours full of flesh and bright fruits. Muscular on the attack, with poise and focus, and pulsating with blueberry fruits and saline-drenched minerality. Good stuff, enjoyable and impressively balanced with a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2023

The 2020 Mangot has turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, blood orange and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's pure and vibrant, with a layered core of...

(JD 90-92 points) Emerging from a beautiful vineyard on the eastern side of the appellation and 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Château Mangot offers a classy, medium to...

Vinous, February 2023

The 2020 Mangot is a heady, full-throttle wine, just as it was en primeur. Jammy dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, sweet oak and licorice are front and center. There's not much subtlety here, but that does not seem to be...

The 2020 Chateau Mangot is a Bordeaux Blend from the Saint Emilion sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This red wine, produced by Chateau Mangot, is sealed with a cork and has an alcohol content of 14.5%. The blend primarily consists of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has received high praise from multiple reviewers, with scores ranging from 92 to 94 points.

James Suckling from jamessuckling.com awarded it 93 points, describing it as "a firm and linear red with plum, bark, wet earth and mushroom aromas and flavors." He also noted the presence of hazelnuts and commented on the medium-bodied nature and chewy tannins that are well-integrated. Suckling recommends drinking this wine after 2025 and highlights that it is made from organically grown grapes.

Decanter rated the wine at 94 points, praising its "bright plum colors full of flesh and bright fruits." The review highlights the wine's muscular attack, poise, and focus, along with its "pulsating blueberry fruits and saline-drenched minerality." The finish is described as having a "grilled, smoked rosemary" character. Decanter also mentions that the wine sees 20% new oak and 30% amphora during its production. The drinking window is suggested to be between 2025 and 2040.

William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also gave the wine 94 points, extolling its "aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, blood orange and bay leaf." He described it as medium to full-bodied, supple, and seamless with "velvety tannins and a long, mouthwateringly chalky finish." Kelley emphasized that this wine surpasses many of its more well-known neighbors, calling it a "brilliant wine that sells for a song."

Jeb Dunnuck rated the wine 92 points, noting its "classy, medium to full-bodied, textured yet elegant style." He observed complex notes of "bouquet garni, scorched earth, violets, and leafy herbs" along with "ripe, polished tannins." Dunnuck believes the wine will offer pleasure both in its youth and over the next 15-20 years.

Vinous also rated the wine 92 points, describing it as a "heady, full-throttle wine" with "jammy dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, sweet oak and licorice." Antonio Galloni from Vinous noted that while the wine lacks subtlety, it is not as ponderously heavy as some recent editions.

Finally, Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com provided a 92-point review, highlighting its "black cherries, chocolate, and licorice" flavors. He described the wine as "deeply colored with layers of lusciously-textured black plums, blue fruit, and cherries," and noted its opulent style. Leve suggests it will offer pleasure when young but can also age for up to two decades.

Overall, the 2020 Chateau Mangot is a highly acclaimed wine with balanced complexity and excellent aging potential.
