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.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A wine that transcended both my lofty expectations and anything produced at this address in the last 50 years, the 2022 Troplong Mondot realizes all the potential of this striking terroir. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, exotic spices, bay leaf and orange zest, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with incredible concentration without weight, supple tannins and a seamless, complete profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. All the work of the last few years in the vineyards and winery makes itself felt, as Troplong Mondot's vineyards took the hot, dry conditions in their stride, and the quality of the fruit that they produced has been preserved by a gentle vinification and a discreet élevage, featuring only 55% new oak and some 20% of the volume in large foudres. 98-100
