The Climb
Since 2008, the work at Château Mangot has centered on co-ownership and vigneron practice, with Yann Todeschini tied to the estate through the long view required by winegrowing. That kind of role asks for attention to seasons, vines, and cellar choices in sequence, not in isolation. The craft here is cumulative: decisions made before harvest carry forward, and the estate’s identity is built through that continuity.
Today
Management and winemaking ownership define the present scope of work at Château Mangot, placing Yann Todeschini between estate direction and the making of the wine itself. That combination demands control without distance: the ability to shape the larger framework while staying close to the details that determine the finished wine. In that sense, the role is as much about holding a place together as it is about producing from it, with the work divided between leadership, judgment, and cellar precision.
Signature
The named wines associated with Yann Todeschini — Todeschini Distique, Château Mangot Cuvée Todeschini 2018, and Distique 11 — point to a house style that is both personal and firmly attached to Château Mangot. Naming does useful work here: it marks authorship, places the wines within a specific estate, and fixes one of them to the 2018 vintage. Read together, the labels show a practice that values continuity across releases while allowing for distinct expressions within the same vocabulary.
