An example of how dedication, exceptional space and extreme attention to detail can result in an excellent wine, Petit Manou is representative of the new wave of modern fruit-forward concentrated wines coming from the left bank of Bordeaux. Rich and dark fruit on the nose without oak, but with a little whiff of alcohol. Very pleasant in the mouth and a remarkably lively wine. The palate is not complex but relatively long.

Château Clos Manou
Françoise and Stéphane Dief produced their first vintage of Clos Manou in Médoc in 1998. They sought suitable soil with a high vine density of around 10,000 vines per hectare. After purchasing 4 hectares of cru artisan classified land and 7 hectares of cru bourgeois, their vineyard area gradually expanded from 0.12 hectares to 18 hectares. The entire harvest is handpicked.
The wine matures for 17 months, 70% in new French oak barrels and 30% in 700-liter concrete eggs for 12 months.
