91 Points - Jeff Leve. Clos Manou 2019 is a fantastic example of a great value Medoc. 2019 was a sublime vintage throughout Bordeaux and the low release prices meant they are still relative bargains. Clos Manou was founded in 1998, and as the vines get older, so the wines get better. This is an awful lot of wine for the money, and one that's worth buying by the case so you can see its development over the next decade.
