Tasting Notes
"The 2017 Troplong Mondot is easily one of the wines of the vintage. New CEO Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Cos d’Estournel) and consulting oenologist Thomas Duclos are masterminding a remarkable new chapter in the life of Troplong Mondot. A major stylistic shift in the direction of freshness and energy has resulted in a positively stunning Troplong Mondot endowed with tremendous depth and vibrant. A rush of black cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and spice builds as this gorgeous Saint-Émilion shows off its breeding and total class. The blend is 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc ."
95-98 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, May 2018
"Troplong Mondot saw hardly any frost—less than 10%. The 2017 Troplong Mondot is blended of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it offers up a cedar chest, cinnamon stick and cloves-laced nose with a core of crème de cassis, blackberry compote and preserved plums plus wafts of licorice, violets and sandalwood. Full-bodied, concentrated and sporting a firm frame of velvety tannins, it has a lively line lifting the densely packed fruit, finishing long and on a compelling savory note."
95-97 points - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, April 2018

The Producer
Château Troplong Mondot
Château Troplong-Mondot figures among the spearheads of the Saint-Emilion appellation. Established on the highest point of the appellation, it was initially called Château Mondot and belonged to Romain Desèze, defender of King Louis XVI. It was later owned by Raymond Troplong, a lawyer and politician, who acquired it in 1850 and gave it its final name
.The Success Story of Troplong-Mondot is linked to the Valette family, merchants at Bordeaux, who bought it in the 1920s. Starting in the 1980s, Christine Valette-Pariente and her husband Xavier Paliente guided Domaine to excellence, placing it in the pantheon of great wines
.Since 2017, the Domaine has been owned by the SCOR Group with Aymeric de Gironde taking the reins as general manager.
It was during the revision of the Saint-Emilion classification in 2006 that Château Troplong-Mondot was crowned Premier Grand Cru Classé, a position it has held ever since
.The Château Troplong-Mondot has a 33-hectare vineyard that benefits from ideal geological conditions, thanks to clays and flints that enter into the composition of the soils, as well as limestone and silty clays. The grape varieties are 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. The wines are aged for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 75 to 80% of which are new.
