Château Troplong Mondot 2024 – Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé
Château Troplong Mondot is situated at the highest point of Saint-Émilion and boasts an exceptional terroir of limestone and ferrous clay. The 33-hectare vineyard surrounds the château like an amphitheater and benefits from excellent exposure and drainage. This unique location contributes to the wine's characteristic freshness, tension, and mineral undertones.
Grapes and blend of the 2024 Troplong Mondot
The 2024 vintage is composed of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend highlights the rich, juicy fruit of the Merlot, the refinement and aromatic lift of the Cabernet Franc, and a subtle structural enhancement from the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Harvest and vinification
The harvest took place between September 25 and October 4. Thanks to the airy cluster structure of the grapes, it was possible to wait for full ripening without the risk of rot. Vinification was carried out without chaptalization, with great attention to precision and terroir expression. Aging took place in 55% new French oak barrels, 26% large foudres, and 19% one-year-old barrels – a balanced approach that allows the character of the wine to come to full fruition.
Tasting note of Troplong Mondot 2024
Troplong Mondot 2024 presents a deep ruby red color and an expressive nose of black cherries, cassis, violets, lavender, menthol, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the wine is silky and layered, with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a striking chalky minerality. The structure is tight and lively, with a long, saline, and elegant finish.
Style and potential
This vintage confirms the domain's stylistic shift towards greater finesse and terroir-driven character. The wine is powerful without being heavy, with a natural freshness and great precision. Troplong Mondot 2024 is a wine with a distinct signature and impressive complexity, which will develop beautifully in the cellar until at least 2065.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Troplong Mondot 2024 toont een diepe robijnkleur en een complex smaakpalet van zwarte kers en cassis, viooltjes en lavendel, met menthol- en zoethoutaccenten, zijdeachtige textuur, rijpe fijnkorrelige tannines en een kalkachtige mineraliteit die zorgt voor frisheid en een lange ziltige afdronk. De combinatie van frisse zuren, precieze tannines en smaakintensiteit maakt hem ideaal bij rundvlees, lam, stoofschotels, sterke kazen en barbecue omdat hij vet en umami mooi snijdt, kruiden en geroosterde smaken versterkt en tegelijk terroir en elegantie teruggeeft. Kies voor gerechten zoals gegrilde ribeye of côte de boeuf met weinig complicerende sauzen, een kruidige lamsrack met rozemarijn en knoflook, langzaam gegaarde daube of ongelijkse stoofpotten op basis van rode wijn en tomaat, of gerijpte harde kazen en pittige barkruiden bij de barbecue voor het beste resultaat. |

The 2024 Troplong Mondot is a beauty, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries and licorice mingled with hints of violet and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, dense and deep, it's one of the more layered and muscular wines of the vintage, a quality this terroir seems to invariably deliver, with sweet tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, expansive finish. -

Score: 94-95. Château Troplong Mondot St.-Emilion 2024.
A crunchy and vivid red with blackberry, black olive and walnut character. It’s medium- to full-bodied with medium-round tannins and a creamy, textured finish. I like the citrus and chalk undertones. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc.

From: Event Horizon: Bordeaux 2024 Primeur (May 2025)
The 2024 Troplong Mondot was matured in 55% new oak, 26% in 20-hectolitre foudres and 19% in used barrels. It offers minerally, tightly wound black fruit, blueberry and light chalky scents. Very fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant yet tensile tannins. Like the Mondot, it is peppery in style, pretty and sapid towards the finish. Not a huge amount of persistence, yet this is still a serious Saint-Émilion that could well end up at the top of my banded score.

“It [2024] was complicated,” admitted Aymeric de Gironde, together with Technical Director Rémi Monribot. “There was a lot of work. We had the highest rain ever, then two months without a drop, then more rain in September. For us, the rain in the growing season was annoying and created a lot of mildew pressure, though it’s been like that for the last six years. Spring will always have episodes of rain, and it comes when the vines are in leaf, so you must plan ahead. We’ve increased grass cover between the rows, around 35% of the vineyard. We don’t perceive mildew as a threat, and being located on a hill helps us.”
Aymeric de Gironde continued, “Flowering was fairly slow and uneven, with a bit of coulure and millerandage that created less compact clusters. In summer, we had a nice steady maturation. It was challenging but not impossible. In April, we anticipated picking from September 4, but we ended up picking from September 20. Harvest lasted three weeks. The choice was between quantity and maturity. We chose the latter, so we cropped at 35 hl/ha and made huge selections as we went along. This was a vintage for those with the means to wait and potentially lose some production. Troplong Mondot has a natural density of wine from the parcels in the heart of the vineyards that means we do well in cooler vintages. We didn’t have to extract too hard, as the density was naturally present.”

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Troplong Mondot is a total stunner. As has been the case for some years now, the Grand Vin is blended before being barreled down, which means at the time of tasting en primeur, the wine has seen less wood than the vast majority of its peers. That lends this wine a certain raw energy that is impossible to miss. The purity and intensity of the flavors are simply remarkable. Troplong Mondot is one of the standouts of 2024. Even in this vintage, Troplong Mondot possesses remarkable textural presence, but that richness is matched by notable freshness and linear drive. It was deeply impressive on the two occasions I tasted it. Élevage is planned to be 55% in new oak, 26% in 20HL barrels and 19% in once-used barrels.

The slogan at Château Troplong Mondot is: TROPLONG MONDOT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED: IT NEEDS TO BE LIVED. Château Troplong Mondot was the first Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion. It is a special place and manages its territory like a garden cultivated vineyard Located at the highest point of the appellation, this 43-hectare estate is fully exposed. The terroir of Ch. Troplong Mondot is located atop the highest point of the Côte Pavie, in Saint Laurent de Combes, where the greatest wines of Saint Emilion are made.
The history of this 1er Grand Cru Classé goes 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 were merged and Château Troplong Mondot was a fact. Wine merchant Alexandre Valette bought the castle in the early 1900s. Christine Valette-Pariente and her husband Xavier Pariente sold the castle to the insurance company SCOR in 2017, after which it has undergone a true renaissance under the leadership of Aymeric de Gironde. The oenologist guru Michel Rolland has also been employed here since 1980. The Les Belles Perdrix restaurant will open there in June 2021 and will be awarded a Michelin star in 2022.
