James Suckling schreibt zum Clos Manou 2020 Medoc Folgendes:
Raspberries, mulberries, maltesers and bay leaves here. Graphite, too. It’s medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. Excellent balance and freshness with a mineral finish. Better after 2025.
William Kelley schreibt zum Clos Manou 2020 Medoc Folgendes:
The 2020 Clos Manou has turned out brilliantly. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, spices and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep core of vibrant fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, violet-inflected finish. Seamlessly constructed, it's a terrific example of haute couture winemaking that would embarrass numerous classified growths.
Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Clos Manou 2020 wie folgt:
Françoise and Stéphane Dief's 16.5 hectares of vines in the northern part of the Médoc were decimated in 2020 by frost, and their 2020 Clos Manou comes from dismal yields of just 26 hectoliters per hectare. The blend is 57% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It has an incredible sense of minerality and almost salinity to go with impressive red and black fruits, notes of smoked tobacco and flowers, medium to full body, and integrated acidity. It's clearly an outstanding wine that's going to offer loads of pleasure over the coming decade or so.
