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 rijk smaakpalet van donkere bessen en cassis, met verfijnde tonen van viooltje, lavendel en zoethout, ondersteund door fijne, zoete tannines, levendige zuurheid en een kalkachtige mineraliteit die voor een lange, elegante afdronk zorgt. Daardoor sluit de wijn prachtig aan bij rundvlees, lam, stevige stoofschotels en rijpe kazen: de tannines en het zuurgehalte snijden door vet en geven structuur aan langzaam gegaarde gerechten, terwijl de aromatische Cabernet Franc-lift goed samenvalt met kruidige en botanische accenten. Kies voor gegrild ribeye of entrecote, langzaam gestoofde sukadelappen of short ribs in rode wijn met rozemarijn en knoflook, een kruimige lamsbout met kruidenkorst of behoudende rijpe blauwkazen en oude harde kazen voor optimale harmonie.

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.
