2019 Petit Manou

The second wine of Clos Manou made from a blend of 83% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc entirely matured in French oak (50% one-year-old, 50% two-year old) for a period of 12 months.
Deep black dark red core with a dark red hue. Delightful red currant and mulberry scents stream out of the glass with some earth, subtle dried herb, light tobacco and spicy cedar notes also chiming in. Mid weighted, elegant and showing classic Bordeaux structure, the palate is layered with delicious red currant fruits which meld into a spicy cedar, dusty earth, tobacco and dried herb background. Sturdy in it’s feel with fine, graphite like tannins, it shows ample freshness and has an appealingly firm, spicy red fruited conclusion. Great everyday drinking Bordeaux.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
