A supple and intense Saint-Emilion wine
The estate
On the right bank of Bordeaux where most properties hardly exceed 10 hectares, the Chateau Troplong Mondot is one of the largest estates in Saint-Emilion. Founded in 1700, this Premier Grand Cru Classe gravitates at the top of the Saint-Émilion appellation.
The vineyard
A reference among the great Saint-Emilion wines, Chateau Troplong Mondot oversees a 43-hectare vineyard in one piece, peaking at 110 meters in altitude. The vineyard is entirely conducted in reasoned viticulture. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are grown on typical clay-limestone soils of the appellation.
Vinification and aging
The aging in stainless steel tanks up to 40% allows to develop the aromatic intensity of the wine, its density as well as its tension conferred by the limestone soils.
Blend
Merlot (100%)
