Château TROPLONG-MONDOT
1er grand cru classé

Troplong-Mondot and its formidable terroir dominate Saint-Émilion both literally (the commune's water tower adjoins the winery) and figuratively. Led by Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Pichon-Baron and Cos d'Estournel) and benefiting from generous investment from reinsurer SCOR since 2016, Troplong-Mondot shines brightly, producing wines that are consistently fresh, flavourful and refined despite their high concentration.

The 2016 vintage in the press:

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2020): 93/100 "The 2016 Troplong Mondot is one of the few Saint-Émilion wines to come across as rather overripe on the nose, where prunes and dates infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with dusty black fruit, firm and dense, and a grippy, solid finish. Pavie-Macquin? It commes across brutish at the moment, but it does have the potential to age."
