2023 Chateau Trolong Mondot
Chateau Troplong Mondot is a property to watch. A new focus on finesse, elegance and precision in recent years has brought an army of fans to this excellent St Emilion estate. It is a new superstar and is currently making some of Bordeaux’s most exciting wines. The 2023 has just been released and is a fantastic expression of this estate’s new direction and, with scores up to a potential high of 98 points, wowed the critics.
The combination of high elevation and the deep clay soils meant that there was always immense potential here due to the excellent terroir. It now shines as earlier picking and more gentle extractions have resulted in a charming wine of dimension, depth and quality. For Lisa Perrotti-Brown, the 2023 is “breathtaking!” and “delivers mouth-coating black and red fruit layers, with floral and chalky sparks and velvety tannins”. Neal Martin calls it “simply stunning… Towering and statuesque, the 2023 explodes out of the glass with tons of vertical energy”.

96-98 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown
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!

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. (2024) www.vinous.com Drink 2033-2063

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. (2024) www.jamessuckling.com
