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
94 Wine Spectator
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
Vedette infaillible de Saint-Emilion depuis deux décennies, le Château Troplong-Mondot confirme avec chaque millésime le bien-fondé de son statut de Premier Grand Cru Classé. Positionné au nord-est de l’appellation, il compte 33 hectares de vignes sur un beau terroir le long des coteaux de Mondot. L’encépagement privilégie le merlot, ce que ne manquent pas de refléter les cuvées du domaine, aux caractères amples, riches, ronds et charnus. Depuis les années 1980, Christine Valette et son mari Xavier Pariente n’ont pas lésiné sur leurs efforts pour rehausser le niveau des pratiques viticoles et œnologiques. Les raisins sont désormais récoltés à la main et font l’objet de rituels méticuleux au niveau du tri. Ils sont fermentés en cuves inox thermo-régulées avant d’être élevés en barriques de chêne français neuves pendant 18 mois. Les résultats parlent d’eux-mêmes. L’impressionnant grand vin, le Troplong-Mondot, est le fruit d’un assemblage à la fois corpulent et raffiné de merlot, cabernet-sauvignon et cabernet franc.
