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.

A brilliant wine in the making, I'd put the 2021 La Mondotte up with the crème de la crème from the Right Bank. Offering up terrific cassis, blueberry, and darker cherry fruits, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, terrific balance, and subtle floral and chalky mineral-like nuances. It brings way more density, depth, and texture than just about every other wine out there. Bravo. Barrel Sample: 94-97
