Description

The history of this 1er Grand Cru Classé dates back to 1745, when it was still called Domaine de Mondot and was part of Château Pavie, now 1er Grand Cru Classé A. With the arrival of Raymond Troplong in 1850, the two names merged, creating Château Troplong Mondot. Château Troplong Mondot was the first Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion. This 43-hectare estate, situated at the highest point of the appellation, is fully exposed to the sun. The terroir of Ch. Troplong Mondot lies at the top of the Côte Pavie, in Saint Laurent de Combes, where Saint-Émilion's finest wines are made. The soil is rich in limestone and planted with 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvesting is entirely manual. Maturation takes place for 18 months in barriques, 75% of which are new. The famous oenologist Michel Rolland has been guiding this winery since 1980.

The Troplong Mondot 2022 is a blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc. It boasts highly appealing aromas of plum and chocolate with hints of raspberry and hazelnut. It's fresh and even savory with a medium to full body. A broad tannin structure builds on the palate, with a long finish. One of the top wines of 2022, ranking among the top wines in St. Emilion.

FACT: It's also worth mentioning that we buy our (Bordeaux) wines directly and never through intermediaries, as we don't know all the journeys the wine has made or how it has been treated. The wines come directly from the Chateau's cellars to our climate-controlled warehouse in Dordrecht, where all our wines are stored.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2022 Château Troplong Mondot Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé betovert met rijke aroma’s van pruimen, chocolade en hints van frambozenstruik en hazelnoot. Deze wijn heeft een frisse, hartige uitstraling met een medium tot volle body en een indrukwekkende tanninestructuur die zich in de mond ontwikkelt tot een lange, volle afdronk. Door zijn robuuste karakter en verfijnde balans is deze wijn perfect te combineren met smaakvolle gerechten zoals geroosterd rundvlees of wild, vooral wanneer het vlees langzaam is gegaard of in een rijke saus is bereid. Ook feestelijke gerechten met een volle, rijke smaak profiteren van de diepgang en complexiteit van deze wijn, waardoor het een schitterende keuze is voor speciale gelegenheden.
