Five centuries of History:
Mangot was first mentioned
back in 1546, referring both to a
place and the name of a family.
Over the next five centuries, the estate
passed between successive
owners from different families, professions
and social background: from
the Viscount of Castillon to families
of Cooper. Throughout the pages of
this history, vine growing has always
been the mainstay of Mangot.
Three generations:
1952: Ambitious newlyweds Simone
and Jean Petit bought their first five
hectares of vine. After being divided
for centuries, the last acquisitions in
1984 restored Mangot to the full 35
hectares it possessed in the 18th century.
1989: Their daughter Anne Marie
and her husband added their contribution.
Although not from a wine
background, Jean Guy Todeschini
threw all his character into restructuring
the vineyard, renovating the
buildings and making constant improvements
to the quality of each of
the wines.
2008: After studying and working in
France and abroad, Karl and Yann
bring their enthusiasm, precision and
modernity to Mangot.
On the strength of its past, Mangot
looks to a bright future. Although
each of the vineyards expresses its
own specific character, the philosophy
behind production and winemaking
remains identical.
One philosophy:
Act simply and naturally and apply
sound common sense:
To employ environmentally-friendly
vine growing techniques to restore
natural balance to each plot and
bring out the best in them.
To know, observe and understand
the soil and plants to express all their
values.
To experiment with organic farming.
To produce wine that reveals the personality
of the terroirs and the people
who create them.
