Created by Fran\u00e7oise and St\u00e9phane Dief, this wine is often hailed as a hidden treasure, consistently achieving a level of refinement and complexity associated with the region's most famous names, yet remaining an accessible 'Cru Artisan'.<\/p>\n<p>The Diefs champion a blend of traditional expertise and modern techniques-from hand-harvesting old vines planted at high density to using concrete eggs and amphorae for part of the aging process. This commitment ensures the final blend-dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-retains its fruit purity while gaining the structure and velvety texture typical of top Bordeaux.<\/p>\n<h2>Sommelier's Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Appearance:<\/strong> Deep, inky ruby; a concentrated and powerful look.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aromatics:<\/strong> A sophisticated bouquet of ripe black fruits, dark plum, and tobacco leaf, with underlying notes of pencil lead and sweet spice from premium French oak.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Palate:<\/strong> Full-bodied and authoritative, the wine coats the mouth with rich, concentrated fruit. The tannic frame is firm but beautifully integrated, evolving into a silky texture on the mid-palate. It has excellent length and a persistent, savoury finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions &amp; Food Match<\/h2>\n<p>A wine of this stature benefits immensely from air. We suggest decanting for an hour prior to serving. Its robust structure makes it an ideal partner for rich, savoury dishes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cellaring:<\/strong> Ready to drink now with decanting, but will evolve beautifully for 10-15+ years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Classic Match:<\/strong> Traditional Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Venison Casserole, Beef Wellington.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>M\u00e9doc 2013<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/winetorres.com\/en\/?s=Clos%20Manou&#038;post_type=product\">Find other wines from this producer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clos Manou, l&#8217;\u00e9toile montante du M\u00e9doc, est un vin rouge de Bordeaux d&#8217;une concentration et d&#8217;une finesse remarquables.
