Beskrivelse

    Expressive, ripe dark plums swathed in aromas of mocha, toasted baking spices, graphite, blackberries and mulberries. The flavor-soaked palate arrives on suave, velvety tannins, delivering flavors of vibrant, concentrated dark plums, mulberries, dark chocolate and cocoa in a youthful, fresh style. Terrific wine with ultra-long finish. An essay in power and elegance. Essence-like. Best from 2020.

    A wine I was able to taste on multiple occasions, the 2015 Troplong Mondot is a tour de force that readers need to snatch up. This cuvee comes from the cool, clay and limestone soils on the upper plateau (it’s the highest point in the appellation) and is a blend of 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvest between September 30th and October 21st, that was brought up in 85% new French oak. Sporting a deep, inky color as well as a sensational bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberry, toasted spice, licorice and spring flowers, it’s another huge wine from this estate that has perfect balance between its fruit, oak and tannin, a stacked mid-palate, and an incredible finish. I wrote "crazy good" more than once in my notes. It has enough fruit and texture to drink nicely even today, yet needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for two to three decades. It's one of the great wines of the vintage.

    One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Troplong Mondot has come together beautifully over the last year and half. Rich and sumptuous to the core, it is a classic wine from this property, built on serious fruit density and textural richness. Dark red cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and spice are some of the many notes that build as the 2015 shows off its irrepressible personality. A viscerally exciting, resonant wine, it just needs a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Tasted two times.

Château Troplong Mondot

Château Troplong Mondot ligger som en majestætisk bastion på det højeste punkt i Saint-Émilion og har i årtier været kendt for sin kraftfulde og karakterfaste stil. Slottet har rødder tilbage til det 18. århundrede, men det var særligt under ledelse af Christine Valette, at ejendommen for alvor satte sig tungt i Bordeaux-historien. Hendes dedikation og dybe forståelse for terroiret spillede en afgørende rolle i, at Troplong Mondot blev klassificeret som Premier Grand Cru Classé B i 2006.

Efter hendes bortgang i 2014 begyndte et nyt kapitel, hvor ambitionerne ikke blev mindre – men stilen ændrede sig markant. Den nye ejer, det franske forsikringsselskab SCOR, ansatte Aymeric de Gironde som direktør (tidligere Château Cos d’Estournel) og indførte en omfattende modernisering. Konsulenten Thomas Duclos blev tilknyttet, og sammen har de revitaliseret Troplong Mondots udtryk. Målet: at finde en ny balance mellem kraft og elegance.

Stilen i dag er væsentligt mere præget af friskhed, finesse og terroirets kalkrige kompleksitet. Der arbejdes med tidligere høst, mindre ekstraktion og lavere andel af ny eg. I 2021 stod et topmoderne vineri klar – diskret indpasset i landskabet – og markerede kulminationen på et transformationsprojekt, der har givet slottet ny vitalitet og international hæder.

Vinene fra Troplong Mondot fremstår i dag som nogle af de mest spændstige og nuancerede i appellationen. Kombinationen af højtliggende marker, kalkstensjord og moderne præcision giver vine, der både har dybde og en næsten silkeagtig tekstur. De ældre årgange hyldes for deres struktur og rigdom, mens de nye årgange er en sand demonstration af, hvordan et klassisk slot kan genopfinde sig selv uden at miste sin sjæl.
