Château Troplong-Mondot 2021

Bordeaux Blend from Saint-Émilion, Right Bank, France, Bordeaux

$228

Closure: Cork

Description

“The 2021 Troplong Mondot shows considerable promise, exhibiting aromas of plums and wild berries mingled with notions of sweet spices, rose petals, vine smoke and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless palate endowed with impressive intensity and texture. Built around beautifully refined, powdery tannins and lively acids, it concludes with a long, mouthwateringly saline finish. Macerations here were long but gentle, including a long cold soak before fermentation, and the blend, after much deliberation, is 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Tasted four times.”

About Troplong-Mondot

Domaine de Mondot belonged to Father de Sèze, who had the present-day château built in 1745. Under his management, the wine of Mondot became one of the most sought-after in Saint-Émilion.

Very much taken by the estate, Raymond Troplong purchased it in 1850 and constituted the vineyard as we know it today. Troplong was a French peer, famous lawyer, lover of art and literature, close friend of Théophile Gautier, and President of the French Senate from 1852 until his death in 1869. He succeeded in making the most of Mondot’s fine terroir to produce superb wine that the 1868 edition of the famous Cocks and Féret (the “Bordeaux Bible”) rated second best in Saint-Émilion. Before selling the estate, his nephew and heir, Édouard Troplong, added the family name.

Alexandre Valette, a wine merchant from Paris, acquired the property in the early 20th century. He already owned Château La France in Fronsac, another château of the same name in Quinsac, and acquired Château Pavie shortly thereafter. Alexandre’s son, Bernard, followed by his grandson, Claude, followed in his footsteps as managers of the estate. Christine Valette-Pariente and her husband, Xavier Pariente, now own and operate Troplong Mondot.

Such focused & precise fruit with a lovely ripeness of plums, flowers & light hazelnuts. Full-bodied, velvety & polished. Very pretty finish.

Yabby Lake Block 6 Pinot Noir 2015

Pinot Noir | Victoria, Australia

Brooding with Sour Cherry and Dark Fruit. Kinda the child to Block 1 and Block 2 It's got some edgy tannin and extraction on one hand from the Pommard clone of Pinot. On the other it's got concentration and oppulence from the MV6 clone. Really want to see this wine in another 12-24 months.
