Clos MANOU
Red

The incessant work of Mr. and Mrs. Dief since 2000 is bearing fruit today: in a tense and distinguished style, Clos Manou shines with a vibrant, deep energy, with pure and radiant fruit, combining length and density. Undoubtedly the most beautiful revelation of the northern Médoc in recent vintages.

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-94 “Clos Manou is consistently excellent and never disappoints. The bouquet is remarkably clean and centred on vibrant fresh fruit. On the palate, velvety and harmonious, it displays an enveloping texture without any heaviness. Already very appealing, the wine shines for its balance and richness, offering immediate pleasure. ”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Clos Manou is racy, elegant and polished from start to finish. Plush contours wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mocha and new leather. This mid-weight, juicy Médoc is impeccable."

Vinous (N. Martin) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Clos Manou was cropped at 45 hl/ha after sorting. This has a sublime bouquet that you really have to just sit and savour, with beautiful blackberry, briar and subtle sous-bois scents, and, like others, it becomes more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a slightly more powerful and assertive Clos Manou, but there is control and focus. As such, it is one that I would cellar for two or three years because you can see the potential already. Bon vin."

J-M Quarin: 92/100 “Deep, intense red color with purple highlights. A very aromatic nose, with fresh, ripe, and subtle fruit notes. Delicate on the palate at first, with a creamy texture in the mid-palate; the wine caresses the palate and lingers with hints of red fruit in the finish. Good length with well-integrated tannins.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 92/100 "True to its usual high standard, this Médoc combines precision, structure and expert ageing. A classic that comes highly recommended for lovers of fine, traditional Médoc wines offering remarkable value for money."
