The Winery

Château Troplong Mondot

Château Troplong Mondot finds its home in Saint-Émilion, and its colorful history dates back to the 17th century when it was founded by the Sèze family. The estate has changed ownership multiple times over the generations, but under the current ownership there has been a push to embrace contemporary winemaking techniques. 1989 marked the first great vintage of the modern era and they haven’t looked back since. The revamping and reconstruction was completed in 2008. The Troplong Mondot team has learned to embrace their unique, cool, last to harvest terroir to produce rich, dark and sumptuous wines.

Tasting Notes

JS93
The wine shows plenty of tobacco and vanilla character with chocolate and berries. Full body, with super fine tannins. It’s so long and refined. It's a divergence from the big, powerful style of the past.
WA92
Dark color. Fairly restrained bouquet offers notes of ripe cherries and acetone. Much more impressive in the mouth; big, bold, rich, juicy, powerful, and minty. This 2008 Bordeaux has many attributes including heavily extracted fruit, layered complexity, concentration, great acidity, and excellent palate presence. The wine also shows a lot of tannin, glycerin, and high alcohol. It's a young, very attractive wine that will continue to evolve. Rating: 92+
