immediate pleasure

"The experts are unanimous: this 100% merlot is delicious!

"Such an impression of limestone terroir on the nose and palate here with nuances of wet stone and graphite edged with fragrant red cherries. Superbly unctuous, with a supple but soft texture. Well-integrated tannins are lifted by the utterly succulent midpalate, juicy and bright, but also layered with strawberries, red cherries and blueberries. Playful, but also well-controlled and well-presented. Long, punchy finish. A lively, elegant and delicious wine". (Decanter 2022)

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Crowning the Côte Pavie, this 27-hectare vineyard has suffered less erosion than all the other Saint-Emilion crus. The particularity of this single-cluster terroir lies in its location, as well as in its very dense, powerful clays from the Agenais region, interspersed with stones and pebbles. Its former owner, Catherine Valette-Pariente, who passed away in 2014, had restored Troplong Mondot to its former glory, when it was bought by reinsurer Scor in 2017. The property was then entrusted to Aymeric de Gironde, who had previously run Cos d'Estournel, one of the Médoc's most prominent crus classés. In order to enhance the nuances and freshness of the wine's constitution, this native of the Charente region modified the vinification process as soon as he arrived: a gentler method, based on the infusion of marc and raw materials, and a reduction in the use of new barrels were the first adjustments made. A new winery is currently under construction to bring out the best in the plots: with this new tool, we'll be able to be more precise in all our technical gestures. It will also enable us to make the most of our latest land acquisitions, whether Clos Labarde or Bellisle-Mondotte, neighboring crus that will for the time being be part of the second wine. In 2020, in this new concept, the restaurant should reopen with the same Michelin-starred chef, David Charrier. 2017 and 2018 mark the arrival of a fresher, clearer style.

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

After the death in 2014 of its owner, Christine Valette-Pariente, Troplong-Mondot, which sits on the most dominant position in Saint-Emilion, seems to be wondering about its future. Together with her husband Xavier, "Queen Christine" embodied the renaissance of this estate, which was confirmed as a Premier Grand Cru B in 2012. A well-deserved reward, first and foremost for the terroir, but also for the work accomplished by Christine and Xavier Pariente over more than twenty years. All the vintages produced since the end of the 1980s (with 1989 and 1990 at the top of the list) have pushed the cursors to the limit to demonstrate the excellence of this property located on the Mondot hillock. A page has been turned in Saint-Emilion's contemporary history. The château offers an excellent restaurant in a personal and refined setting, as well as magnificent guest rooms (Les Belles Perdrix).

About the wine:

Mondot 2019 is opulent, silky and delicious, just as it was en primeur. Bright red fruits, cinnamon, mint, crushed stones, blood orange and exotic spices give it a magnificent primary intensity. Supple contours and bright acids give the 2019 tons of appeal and vivacity. Barrel (60%) and tank (40%) ageing has preserved a good dose of freshness. 2023-2034

About the wine:

Pure Merlot with lots of berry and stone character. Medium-bodied, with round tannins that spread across the palate. Creamy texture and delicious finish. 40% wood-free. So enjoyable now.

About the wine:

Intense bouquet marked by red berry notes, freshness and a floral touch. One could almost say that it "pinotes". Fruity, fruity attack on the palate, with a juicy, thirst-quenching character. A sapid, saline wine that begs for another glass. Crisp and refreshing. 2023-2028

Wine rated (2020 guide) 92-94/100

About the wine:

[...] Superb acidity, beautiful bitters, with the chalky acidity pushing the whole to give it remarkable verticality and length. Magnificent second wine on the rails, very linear with perfectly integrated tannins. Airy on the finish and refined compared to 2018.
