Description

Located in Saint-Emilion, Château Troplong-Mondot features Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc which grows on soils composed of clay, flint and limestone. The biodiversity is preserved as the grass is not removed from around the vines and horses are used to complete certain tasks. Harvested by hand, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine is aged in barrels, many of which are new, for between one and two years depending on the qualities of the vintage.

iDealwine Primeur tasting note : “The nose delivers aromas of ink, graphite, violet and other flowers as well as small black fruits. On the palate, the initial impression is extremely soft and fresh before it becomes perfectly silky and dense. It contains the fruit and floral notes found on the nose and the finish is more powerful and long. It’s a dynamic, elegant, and balanced wine.”

Wine Advocate : “A blend of 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Troplong Mondot unwinds in the glass with aroma of black raspberries, mulberries and cherries mingled with notions of iris, licorice, black tea and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s textural and mouthfilling, with the mid-palate density so typical of this terroir, its concentrated core of fruit framed by beautifully polished tannins and succulent acids.”
