About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Troplong-Mondot is a Grand Cru Classé wine of Saint-Émilion which inhabits one of the greatest sites in the appellation, high atop the côte and plateau. The 2009 dealt the estate with a ripe, robust fruit set which has seen it produce a wine of utmost concentration and robustness. Balanced with that overt blueberry and plum fruit is a nice spine of earthen characters including pencil shavings and cedar notes. The nuances of the wine will emerge over a decade or more of careful cellaring.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

It boasts an inky/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of mocha, chocolate, blackberry and cassis fruit, an unctuous texture, a full-bodied, viscous mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like, multilayered finish. This spectacular wine is nearly overwhelming in its richness, thickness and intensity. Once all its baby fat falls away, the terroir characteristics and additional nuances will emerge. This blockbuster, fabulous Troplong Mondot will benefit from 10-15 years of cellaring and keep for three decades or more. It is not shy either, bouncing over the palate with 15.5% natural alcohol.
