Château Troplong Mondot
A ceaseless luminary in Saint-Émilion over the past couple decades, Château Troplong-Mondot continues to validate its relatively new Premier Grand Cru Classé status vintage after vintage. In the northeast of the appellation, there are 33-hectares of vines well-sited along the hills of Mondot, the bulk of which remains Merlot is perfectly reflected in the wine as full, rich, plump and fleshy details. Since the 1980s, Christine Valette and her husband, Xavier Pariente have put in tremendous efforts to better the viticultural and vinification methods used. The fruit is now hand-harvested with meticulous sorting rituals, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before the wine is aged in new French oak barriques for 18 months. The results are self-evident, the impressive Grand Vin, Troplong-Mondot is a corpulent but refined Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc Saint-Émilion blend.
