Why We're Buying
La Mondotte (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru) is a classic Bordeaux red blend. It's 80 merlot and 20 cabernet franc, with each grape coming from 50-year-old vines. The estate, which ages the blend in 100 new French oak barrels for 18 months, only releases 1,000 cases of wine per year.
Critics Scores

Wine Spectator
Intense raspberry and plum compote flavors show juicy energy, backed by a liberal dose of roasted apple wood notes. Grippy and still a bit chewy, but the drive is there, along with a buried mineral edge that lingers. 96-99 Points (Blind tasted)
