Chateau Troplong Mondot is a prestigious winery located in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, France. Known for its rich and opulent wines, the estate produces a blend primarily composed of Merlot, with smaller proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, undergoing fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth. The flavor profile is characterized by lush dark fruit notes, such as black cherry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate, spice, and a well-integrated tannin structure. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or aged cheeses.

A sensational Troplong. Vibrant and vivid, this makes you smile from the first smell: milk chocolate, floral notes of roses and lavender, wet stones, liquorice, cinnamon and ripe bramble fruits. Round and thrilling on the palate, tannins are abundant with a chalky blueberry coolness while a salty tang settles around the mouth. Lovely precision and purity of fruit; you feel the sharp definition - still linear which makes it less immediately charming than the 2019 but giving undeniable complexity. Deep but not heady, this remains pure and detailed, with a leanness from the terroir really setting this apart. After a few minutes, the glamour starts to appear giving a salivating, succulent and moreish aspect to the finish. An absolute beauty.
