We are pleased to announce the release from Bordeaux of MONDOT 2018, the second wine of Chateau Troplong Mondot (1st Classified Growth B in Saint-Emilion).

  As you may know, under the supervision of Aymeric de Gironde (previously from Cos d’Estournel), Troplong Mondot has dramatically changed the style of its wines bringing more finesse, precision, freshness while keeping the aromatic intensity since vintage 2017.  

As Jeb Dunnuck puts it: "“It shows the new style of this estate beautifully and offers remarkable purity”

As they consider it themselves, 2018 is their first “real baby”! And this is more than a second wine, this is some serious wine, that they are (I quote) "super proud of”.  

  Based on a single grape variety, Merlot grown solely on limestone soils, the wine offers a very silky texture on the palate and some rather complex spicy notes. 

  Ratings are pretty consistent and quite representative of the wine’s potential, in particular Jeb Dunnuck’s tasting notes.
