Clos Manou
-
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (94)
A cult Médoc wine from Stéphane Dief, in a vintage that rarely disappoints. The thing I like best about Clos Manou is that it has concentration and polish but never loses its sense of heart, and this is a great example, limbering up at 5 years old, full of liqourice, espresso, blackcurrant and bilberry fruits, plenty of campfire smoke and spice from 70% new oak.HK$1,290.00 -

No secret that I am a fan of this small production, high quality estate in the Médoc region, owned by Françoise and Stéphane Dief. Once again here it shows you why. This is absolutely staying in the lines of 2022 in terms of its full-on inky colour, but there are vibrant violet edges, and this feels sleek but restrained. A real standout, leaning into the vintage with its clearly ripe dark fruits and plush chocolate and liquorice lacing, but never feeling over the top. A buy.HK$3,420.00 -

(12x75cl) 2023
Wine Advocate (91-93)
This northern Medoc estate has over-performed once again with the 2023 Clos Manou, an impressive effort redolent of cassis, dark berries, pencil shavings and violets. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a lively core of concentrated fruit framed by supple, elegantly chalky tannins, this is a classy, ambitious wine that could embarrass many grand chateaux in a blind tasting. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot that attained 13.2% alcohol.HK$1,795 - HK$2,132
