The 2023 Troplong Mondot has a very well-defined bouquet with quite mineral-driven blackberry and strawberry fruit, incense and light bay leaf aromas. Very focused and terroir-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry, finely chiselled tannins, a silver thread of acidity with a touch of allspice and white pepper on the tender finish. This is more open than the '22 at this stage and will oblige less time in bottle. Excellent.

Seductive aromas of orange blossoms, plums, green olives and sandalwood. Medium- to full-bodied, showing crunchy fruit and fresh tannins with orange peel and a chalky texture. Salty at the end. A unique wine full of character but not overdone. Zesty and terrific. 13% alcohol. A blend of 84% merlot, 13% cabernet sauvignon and 3% cabernet franc. Best after 2029.

Dense, pulpeux avec une touche d’épices. La matière présente une charpente très sûre, puissante qui portera dans le temps cette chair ferme et soyeuse.

Troplong-Mondot setzt seinen Weg zur Exzellenz mit einem Fokus fort, der sich auf die Details konzentriert, die vielen Feinheiten, die zu der Gelassenheit und Komplexität führen, die er spontan an den Tag legt. Alles sitzt in diesem Wein mit einem außergewöhnlichen Maß an Präzision, ohne zu demonstrieren, sondern mit Überzeugung und Frische. Die Tannine des Troplong Mondot nehmen langsam Besitz vom Gaumen, ohne dabei überwältigend zu wirken. Im Gegenteil, sie ebnen den Weg für andere Komponenten, beglücken die Aromatik und schaffen eine sehr vollendete Symbiose mit der Säurestruktur, die zudem prägnant ist. Ein dichter Wein, der sich entlang des Gaumens aufbaut und von der Präzision, der Schmackhaftigkeit und der Länge des Abgangs punktiert wird. Man muss nicht opulent sein, um zu beeindrucken. Man kann sehr wohl laut singen, ohne dabei zu schreien! Eine Art Freudenhymne mit einem Hauch von Rigorosität!

The Grand Vin 2023 Château Troplong Mondot checks in as 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, from healthy yields of 53 hectoliter per hectare, raised in 60% new wood, hitting 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.48. It brings another level of density and depth, with gorgeous notes of black cherries, hints of mulberries, graphite, and crushed stone. Medium-bodied on the palate, it shines for its beautiful purity of fruit and has plenty of background oak, a creamy, rounder mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish.

The aromatics are incredible - so pure, clean and precise - sweet, sour and fresh with clear blue fruits, wax, crayon and pencil led on the nose alongside vanilla, blackcurrant and plum with blueberry too. Supple and agile, a lovely bounce and energy straight away, this has movement and direction. The fruit is pristine, gorgeous succulence and bright berries on the palate before some limestone wet stone elements come in giving a graphite tang. Has that sense of whole bunch fermentation, really racy and so electric. It’s not a 2022, it doesn’t have that velvetines and soft plush tannins that Troplong can do well, but this is extremely good. Straight, juicy, clean, poised, elegant and refined. Not shouting, it’s reserved and calm, but confident. You can taste the chalk on the finish alongside liquorice and graphite. I love the finesse and the terroir markers and in a change to 2021 it has ripeness, succulence and body. 6% press. Three tanks of whole cluster fermentation. 70 IPT. Ageing 14 months, 60% new oak. 3.45pH.

Troplong Mondot (Saint Émilion; 84% Merlot; 13% Cabernet Sauvignon; 3% Cabernet Franc; sourced from the historic 27 hectares of the estate; tasted at the property with Aymeric de Gironde). Darker than Mondot with a lovely damson and sloe stony fruit, a little cassis and bramble, with copious wild herbs and graphite brining additional interest. This is big, bold, rich and plump with great amplitude and yet also very considerable depth and substance. Quite relaxed at first and very clean and bright on the finish. Spherical in form with quite a broad frame and excellent precision. That gives lots of space and scope for the succulent and sapid berry fruits to play with – their freshness bringing a whirlpool-like momentum and dynamism to the midst of the mid-palate. Nice high menthol, eucalyptus and Szechuan peppercorns notes on the finish. Excellent.

A blend of 84% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Troplong Mondot has a pH of 3.45. Aymeric de Gironde commented, ‘Our crop of Cabernet Franc was our biggest ever.’ It has a deep garnet-purple color and needs a little swirling and coaxing before gorgeous notes of mulberries, wild blueberries, and redcurrant jelly slowly begin to emerge, followed by hints of sassafras, mossy tree bark, and graphite, plus wafts of rose oil and cumin seed. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black and red fruit layers, with floral and chalky sparks and velvety tannins, finishing long and beguiling. This is breathtaking!

Deeply colored, the wine is rich, deep, full-bodied, concentrated and intense. The wine is silky, lush, with its creamy textures which come across as gentle, vibrant, and elegant, with depth, and width. The lingering finish displays sweet, red, and black fruits, salted oranges, and a beautiful chalky character on the backend. The key for the vintage here was the terroir which allowed for ample water retention during the heatwaves, and the ability to harvest at their own pace. The wine blends 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc. 14.1% ABV, 3.45 pH. Harvesting started September 5 - October 9. Drink from 2029-2060. 96-98 Pts.

Inky plum, vibrant violet edges, shows the intensity that is signature to Troplong, combining velvety texture with a lightness of touch, tomato leaf and peony aromatics. Fresh blueberry and blackberry fruits with plenty of grilled spices and sandalwood oak effortlessly integrated even at this early stage. High Cabernet Franc in the blend, and three tanks fermented with stems (which they consider as an alternative to press). 22% aged in large scale foudres, and 18% in one year old barrels, rest 60% in new oak.

The 2023 Troplong Mondot is simply stunning. It's one of the best wines yet made under the direction of Aymeric de Gironde. Towering and statuesque, the 2023 explodes out of the glass with tons of vertical energy. Dark red-toned fruit, licorice, spice, lavender, mocha and pencil shavings are some of the many notes that infuse the 2023 with character. The combination of soaring aromatics, chiseled fruit and a limestone-infused finish is nothing less than captivating. What a wine. Aging is in 60% new oak, 22% 20hL foudre and 18% once-used oak. Tasted two times.

The 2023 Troplong Mondot was harvested from September 5 to October 9, with 60-70% picked within nine or ten days; other parcels were "stragglers" that required more time. There is actually 4-5% whole clusters in the blend,and according to Aymeric de Gironde, it works like the vin de presse, glueing components of the wine together. Sulfur is only added when the wine is put into barrel. The 2023 has a very well-defined and focused bouquet with pure blackberry, raspberry, ground chalk and light sea cave scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a very crisp and mineral-driven entry. It's chalky in texture and quite tensile in the mouth, with a dash of black pepper on the finish. This is an individualistic Saint-Émilion that will fill out during its élevage. Very long.

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Fresh nuances of currants, some herbal savouriness, black cherries, notes of liquorice, some nougat and candied orange zest, floral touch. Deep and complex, juicy, red forest berries, good freshness, firm but silky tannins, mineral and salty in the finish, balanced, fine spice in the echo. Already accessible, good length, certain ageing potential, a food wine with finesse.

A blend of 84% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Troplong Mondot unwinds in the glass with aroma of black raspberries, mulberries and cherries mingled with notions of iris, licorice, black tea and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's textural and mouthfilling, with the mid-palate density so typical of this terroir, its concentrated core of fruit framed by beautifully polished tannins and succulent acids.

A tight and very focused young Troplong with freshness and finesse that adds plenty. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a vivid finish. Lots of blackberry and blueberry character. It really opens and envelops your palate, caressing every square inch. Cashmere-like texture. The limestone comes through beautifully.
