Located in the northern Médoc, in Saint-Christoly, Clos Manou is a small 19-hectare property managed by Françoise and Stéphane Dief. They started in 1998 by vinifying their first vintage in their garage, producing 600 bottles. They have gradually expanded their estate from 12 ares to 19 hectares today and have invested in a vat room and storage cellar. The vineyard is planted with 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 6% old Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The work in the vineyard is precise and meticulous, as natural as possible (but without certification), some of it is ploughed and the rest is grassed over. In the cellar, extractions are made by pumping over in the concrete vat and manual punching of the cap is carried out in the wooden vat.
