Has any Bordeaux château realized a more wholesale stylistic revolution in so short a time than Troplong Mondot? Since Aymeric de Gironde arrived at the estate in late 2017, the ultra powerful "shock and awe" style of the 2000s is out, and a new refinement is in. Of course, the deep clays that define the core vineyards around the château itself are never likely to produce light or ephemeral wines, but de Gironde has astutely understood that (to develop an analogy), when driving down hill, one can ease off on the accelerator. The 2019 Troplong Mondot is a ringing endorsement of the new direction, wafting from the glass with complex aromas of wild berries, violets, coniferous forest floor, licorice, raw cocoa and subtle spices, followed by a full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's seamless and perfumed, its enveloping core of succulent fruit framed by rich, powdery tannins and lively acids. Harmonious and penetrating, I never thought I'd taste a wine like this from Troplong Mondot.

The 2019 Troplong Mondot is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Vertical and explosive in feel, the 2019 dazzles with its magnificent balance. Inky red/purplish fruit, cinnamon, chocolate, dried flowers and lavender open with a bit of time, but Troplong is not a wine for the here and now, but rather a wine for readers who can be patient. The 2019 is all class and refinement. Those qualities become increasingly apparent over time, once some of the initial power and density subsides with air. This is the first time the Grand Vin was blended before the malolactic fermentation. -- Antonio Galloni

A flicker of savory leads off, before being quickly absorbed into the core of juicy plum, blackberry and fig compote flavors. Long laces of alder, black tea and espresso crema wrap around the finish, where a hint of smoldering flint checks in before the fruit shows a final finishing kick. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2038. —J.M.

Château Troplong Mondot
Dieser seit Jahrzehnten strahlende Stern von Saint-Émilion bestätigt seinen relativ jungen Status eines Premier Grand Cru Classé Jahrgang für Jahrgang. Seine 33 Hektar Rebläche finden sich im Nordosten der Appellation in guter Lage an den Hügeln von Mondot. Der Großteil der Fläche ist mit Merlot bepflanzt, was die vollen, reichen und fleischigen Weine perfekt widerspiegeln. Seit den 1980er Jahren haben Christine Valette und ihr Mann Xavier Pariente enorme Anstrengungen unternommen, um die Weinbau- und Weinbereitungsverfahren zu verbessern. Heute werden die Trauben von Hand gelesen und sorgfältigst aussortiert, in temperaturgeregelten Edelstahltanks fermentiert und anschließend 18 Monate in neuen französischen Eichen-Barriques ausgebaut. Das Ergebnis spricht für sich: der beeindruckende Grand Vin Troplong-Mondot ist ein korpulenter, aber hochfeiner Verschnitt aus Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc.
