Château Troplong Mondot
Château Troplong Mondot a St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé property that has in the last decade been producing wines that are the equal of many 1er Grand Cru Classé estates. Its handsome château dates back to 1745 and Troplong-Mondot was originally part of one sizeable domaine which included the vineyards of Château Pavie. It became autonomous in 1850 when it was acquired by Raymond Troplong. Later on, it was bought by Alexandre Valette and today it is owned and run by his great-granddaughter, Christine.
Troplong Mondot has 30 hectares of vineyards well-sited alongside the hill of Mondot to the north-east of the St-Emilion appellation. The soils are rich in limestone clay and are planted with Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barriques (60% new) for 18 months. It is bottled unfiltered.
Guru oenologist Michel Rolland has been a consultant at Troplong Mondot since the mid 1980s.

"Fine colour. Rich, full, concentrated, succulent and gently oaky. This is a full, firm, backward wine. Very good tannin. Old viney. Reminds me a little of old Chateau Canon. Very good grip. Long. Fine. A lovely wine. Drink from 2006/7." (Clive Coates - The Vine - 01-Jun-2000) | ||||

This epitomises the concept of a vin de plaiser as it seduces and beguiles, teasing all the senses. With slightly more Merlot than usual the nose has a deep richness with liquorice and chocolate hints. Immensely impressive with supple tannins, spicy black cherry fruit and lavish oak, its ...
