What kind of wine is Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot
The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot is a refined French red wine produced in the heart of the renowned Saint-Émilion appellation, in the Bordeaux region. It is born from the intuition and passion of brothers Karl and Yann Todeschini, who have signed each vintage of the "Distique" project since 2008, a label that celebrates their constant search for balance between tradition and innovation. The wine is a blend of typical local grape varieties, where Merlot expresses softness and fruit, while Cabernet Franc provides structure and freshness. The result is a highly harmonious, intense, complex, and remarkably elegant red wine.
Vintage Details
The 2017 vintage was characterized by balanced weather conditions, despite some spring challenges. The grapes were able to ripen optimally thanks to a dry and breezy summer that favored aromatic concentration and excellent tannin quality. The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 thus displays a fruity, deep, and already pleasantly balanced profile, but with great aging potential over time.
Vinification and Aging
The vinification of 'Todeschini Distique N°10' follows an artisanal and innovative approach. Every step is conducted with attention to detail to preserve the authentic character of the Château Mangot terroir. After alcoholic fermentation and maceration, which favors the extraction of color and body, the wine is aged for approximately 14-16 months in a unique combination of vessels:
- 1/3 in new oak barrels, to add complexity and depth;
- 1/3 in used barrels, for a softer and rounder balance;
- 1/3 in terracotta amphorae, which preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit.
This equal-part aging choice is the distinctive feature of the "Distique" project and contributes to the unique personality of each vintage.

How to Best Open and Serve Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the bottle of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot, it is advisable to position it vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows the natural sediment, typical of aged Bordeaux red wines, to settle at the bottom, preventing it from mixing during service.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The optimal temperature to best appreciate this wine is between 16°C and 18°C. If the bottle is stored in a cellar at a lower temperature, it is sufficient to take it out about an hour before tasting to allow it to reach the ideal degree. Avoid heating it quickly.
3. Opening the Bottle
To correctly open the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot:
- Cut the capsule just below the neck ring of the bottle.
- Thoroughly clean the rim and the cork to remove any dust or mold residue.
- Use a lever or double-hinged corkscrew to extract the cork slowly, avoiding sudden jolts or loud noises.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Once opened, smell the cork: it should emit a pleasant aroma, without notes of mold or oxidation. Then pour a small amount into the glass and taste. This step ensures that the wine is in perfect condition before decanting.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot benefits from careful decanting. It is recommended to:
- Slowly pour the wine into a decanter, leaving the last few milliliters in the bottle to retain the sediment.
- Allow it to oxygenate for 45-60 minutes before serving, so that the complex aromas of Merlot and Cabernet Franc can fully express themselves.
If tasting immediately, a brief passage in the decanter (15-20 minutes) will still help to make the aromatic profile more harmonious.
6. Serving
Serve the wine in large red wine glasses, to allow for proper aeration and the expression of its fruity, spicy, and mineral notes. Pour gently, avoiding shaking the bottle. Pair the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 'Todeschini Distique N°10' 2017 - Château Mangot with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses to enhance its structure and elegance.
7. Storage After Opening
If not entirely consumed, re-cork the bottle with an airtight stopper and store it in the refrigerator, in an upright position. To best maintain its aromatic characteristics, consume the wine within 48 hours. Before serving again, bring it back to the ideal serving temperature.
