Château Troplong Mondot - 2023
Château Troplong Mondot, located in Saint-Émilion, presents a beautiful blend of 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc in their 2023 vintage. This wine reveals aromas of black raspberries, mulberries and cherries, mixed with notes of iris, licorice, black tea and spices. It is a medium to full-bodied wine, deep and layered, with the characteristic mid-tones of this terroir, surrounded by beautifully polished tannins and juicy acidity.
Climate and Harvest
The vineyards of Troplong Mondot are located on a unique dome of clay, known as molasses de l'Agenais, which has never eroded. The vineyards range in elevation from 40 to 110 meters above sea level, resulting in a wide harvest window. The 2023 harvest took place from September 5 to October 9, with 60-70% picked within nine to 10 days. However, some plots needed more time.
Vineyard Management and Vinification
Since the arrival of Aymeric de Gironde in 2017, Troplong Mondot has undergone significant changes. Plowing with horses and the use of green manures have improved the soil structure. Malolactic fermentation now takes place in tanks rather than barrels, and the percentage of new oak has been significantly reduced, leading to greater aromatic scope and textural refinement.
Tasting notes
The 2023 Troplong Mondot offers a well-defined bouquet of pure blackberry, raspberry, chalk and light sea cave notes. The palette is medium-bodied with a very fresh and mineral-driven entrance, chalky texture and a hint of black pepper in the finish. This Saint-Émilion will develop further during its education and has a very long aftertaste. The wine matures in 60% new oak barrels, 22% in 20hL foudre and 18% in once used oak barrels.
History and Terroir
Château Troplong Mondot, the first Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, has a rich history dating back to 1745 when it was called Domaine de Mondot. The estate is located at the highest point of the Côte Pavie in Saint Laurent de Combes. Raymond Troplong merged the names in 1850 and created Château Troplong Mondot. In the early 1900s, the castle was purchased by wine merchant Alexandre Valette and underwent a renaissance led by Aymeric de Gironde from 2017. The vineyards are managed as a cultivated garden, contributing to the exceptional quality of the wines.
Conclusion
The 2023 Troplong Mondot is a special wine that combines the power of its terroir with refinement and balance. With its deep aromas, rich texture and long finish, it is a wine that will be admired now and for decades to come.
FACT: It is also worth mentioning that we purchase the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never purchase them through intermediaries because we do not know which journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly to our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored.

A wine that transcended both my lofty expectations and anything produced at this address in the last 50 years, the 2022 Troplong Mondot realizes all the potential of this striking terroir. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, exotic spices, bay leaf and orange zest, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with incredible concentration without weight, supple tannins and a seamless, complete profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. All the work of the last few years in the vineyards and winery makes itself felt, as Troplong Mondot's vineyards took the hot, dry conditions in their stride, and the quality of the fruit that they produced has been preserved by a gentle vinification and a discreet élevage, featuring only 55% new oak and some 20% of the volume in large foudres.

Country : France
Region : Bordeaux
Vintage : 2022
Score : 97-98
Very attractive aromas of plums and chocolate with hints of raspberry bush and hazelnut. So fresh and even savory with medium to full body. Such a wide tannin structure building up on the palate. Shows depth and length with lots of minerality. Floral. Beautiful already. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc.

From: You’re Unbelievable: Bordeaux 2022 (May 2023)
The 2022 Troplong-Mondot was picked from 29 August when it was 31° Celsius, which according to estate director Aymeric de Gironde, felt cool compared to the rest of summer. The alcohol is 14.9% with the pH of 3.48. It sees no SO2 until it is transferred into barrel. The nose is very attractive and certainly very expressive of its limestone terroir: blackberry, briary, crushed iris petal and light marine scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, quite chalky in texture, that acidic spine governing its overall mouthfeel. Sapid on the finish, this Troplong Mondot builds in the mouth and coats it on the finish. De Gironde and I discussed my previous scores. I always said that he would get better and better during his tenure and this is clearly the case in 2022, the best Troplong Mondot...so far.
