This is a very linear red and layered at the same time, showing blackberry, blueberry, black-truffle, bark and stone character. Chalk and minerality, too. It’s full-bodied and well framed with gorgeous intensity and freshness. Muscular with wonderful structure and brightness. Salty and savory notes on the finish. Try after 2024
96 Robert Parker
The 2018 Troplong Mondot is blended of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, with 15% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, with considerable coaxing and swirling it slowly emerges from the glass like a waking giant, building to a towering bouquet of preserved plums, blueberry pie and Morello cherries with gentler wafts of violets, star anise, fruitcake and cast-iron pan. The concentrated, full-bodied palate possesses impressive purity and brightness of fruit commingled with richer, riper elements and supported by firm, velvety tannins, finishing with lovely freshness and on a lingering ferrous note. It's a wine that's not just delicious, it's seriously interesting too.

Château Troplong Mondot
Stella splendente di Saint-Émilion negli ultimi due decenni, Château Troplong-Mondot continua a confermare il suo status relativamente recente di Grand Cru Classé annata dopo annata. Nel nord-est della denominazione, i 33 ettari di viti ben posizionati lungo le colline di Mondot, piantati soprattutto a Merlot, si riflettono perfettamente nel vino con dettagli pieni, ricchi, rotondi e carnosi. Dagli anni '80, Christine Valette e suo marito Xavier Pariente mettono il massimo impegno per migliorare i metodi vitivinicoli e di vinificazione. Ora l'uva è raccolta a mano con rituali di selezione meticolosi e fermentata in serbatoi di acciaio inox a temperatura controllata. Il vino viene poi affinato in barrique nuove di rovere francese per 18 mesi. I risultati sono evidenti: l'imponente Grand Vin, Troplong-Mondot, è un assemblaggio corposo ma raffinato di Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon e Cabernet Franc di Saint-Émilion.
