Why We're Buying
For an estate with a Premier grand cru classé (B) rating, Château Troplong Mondot doesn't garner as much attention. The estate has turned that perception around in recent years, thanks to collaborations with oenologist Michel Rolland and Food and Wine Magazine's Winemaker of the Year, Aaron Pott.

The 2019 Troplong Mondot is a blend this year of 85 Merlot, 13 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 10th to the 25th of September. The pH is 3.55—pretty incredible when you consider the alcohol is nearly 15! I hasten to add that from tasting, I would have guessed this was 14.3 to 14.5 alcohol. It is the kind of wine with so much energy it practically does pirouettes on your palate.
Vinous
The 2019 Troplong Mondot is sensational. Rich, vibrant and explosive, the 2019 pulses with energy. Black cherry, violet plum, licorice, lavender and dark spice build in a statuesque Saint-Émilion endowed with tremendous energy and pure power. Troplong Mondot is not as obvious a wine as it was a few years ago, but its grandeur - and more importantly, the grandeur of this site - are evident. Troplong Mondot is a wine that simply can't be denied. The 2019 is aging in 60 new oak and 40 a combination of once-used barrels, foudres and amphora.
Wine Enthusiast
With its rich tannins and serious, concentrated structure, the wine is obviously set for a great future. The Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend offers structure as well as the fine line of blackberry flavors. Filled out with ripe Merlot, the wine shows richness with everything in balance.
