2020 Mondot, St-Emilion Grand Cru (2023 Ex-Château Release)
Dry | Red | Still | 15%
Troplong Mondot has arguably gone through the biggest transformation in St-Emilion, moving from a high-octane, powerful style to more elegant expressions with greater tension and bright limestone character. Mondot is their second wine, and comes from two vineyards, one of which is a walled plot, shared with Jacques Thienpont's L'If. It's 100% Merlot, and is full of bright red plum and black cherry fruit, fresh mint, and lavender. The tannins are chalky but with a rounded edge that adds to the silky feel of this wine.
Ready: 2024 - 2040
