Château Troplong Mondot is one of Saint-Émilion's most prestigious wine estates, with a history dating back to the early 18th century. Situated at one of the appellation's highest points, at approximately 110 metres above sea level, its 37-hectare vineyard benefits from exceptional exposure and distinctive clay and limestone soils. Classified Premier Grand Cru Classé, the estate is particularly renowned for its Merlot-dominant wines, which combine richness, power and complexity with freshness and precision. Since its acquisition by SCOR in 2017, significant investment has further refined its viticulture and winemaking.

The 2014 Troplong-Mondot performed to my expectation now that the wine is in bottle. It has a refined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass, but never get carried away. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tensile in the mouth but surprisingly linear and conservative, at least in the first half. It is fresh and precise, then delivers the weight and concentration as it fans out on the finish, a residue of white pepper tingling on the aftertaste. This is a delicious Troplong Mondot that should age with style and grace. Drink date 2020 - 2040

The dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas plus the serious tannins here give this wine a lot of character, but it really needs a couple of years to open up. The finish packs a big tannic punch. For the long term. Try in 2024.
James Suckling 95pts

Solidly built, with some heft to the core of raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavours. Delivers ample cut and drive thanks to the racy graphite beam. Hints of ganache and Turkish coffee add a bass line without taking away definition or purity. Best from 2022 through 2035. 5,583 cases made.
