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.

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet blackberries and raspberries mingled with hints of rose petal and spices, the 2020 Mondot is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a pure, seamless core of vibrant fruit and a long, succulent finish. Derived from Merlot growing on recently acquired vineyards on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, some 40% of the blend is matured in tank, with the rest in once-used barriques.
