Rich and structured with earthy plum, black cherry, and spice. Serious tannins and savory depth make this a wine built for aging. Taut and focused with a peppery finish and underlying freshness. A graceful, long-lived vintage.

The dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas plus the serious tannins here give this wine a lot of character, but it really needs a couple of years to open up. The finish packs a big tannic punch. For the long term. Try in 2024.

The 2014 Troplong-Mondot performed to my expectation now that the wine is in bottle. It has a refined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass, but never get carried away. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tensile in the mouth but surprisingly linear and conservative, at least in the first half. It is fresh and precise, then delivers the weight and concentration as it fans out on the finish, a residue of white pepper tingling on the aftertaste. This is a delicious Troplong Mondot that should age with style and grace.

Voluptuous aromas of dense black fruits. Concentrated and chocolatey palate; a touch extracted but shows freshness on the finish. Tannic, but has no rough edges.

So as to understand Troplong Mondot one needs to leave behind categories and descriptions.
Troplong Mondot cannot be explained: It needs to be lived.
Appreciating an atmosphere or a setting and nourishing oneself from it, both literally and metaphorically, means finding one’s place in a world that one takes with oneself. A world like no other.

Settled upon its hilltop, the Château discretely dominates an unusual ‘terroir’, quite unlike any other.

On the one side, soft wave-like sweeping hills. On the other, the valley and the village of Saint-Emilion, stretching out under our feet.  And all around, vines, bushes, hedges, lanes and low stone walls.

TROPLONG MONDOT IS LIKE A WORLD OF ITS OWN.
All of these elements make a world of Troplong Mondot.

A UNIQUE UNIVERSE, A TRUE GIFT OF NATURE.
The preservation of this biodiversity is both an ancient and a present concern. Taking care of nature is installed in Troplong Mondot’s philosophy, essential for bringing out its best.

TROPLONG MONDOT’S SPIRIT CAN BE FOUND IN THE WINE.
In the complexity of its judiciously assembled tiny variations. In the power that tempers the elegance. In the reminder of a shared moment or a touching souvenir. Here, the sensation felt when tasting gives feeling of fulfilment. The impression that one has always belonged here, that one recognises it and has found one’s place.
