Chateau Troplong Mondot 2016
Chateau Troplong Mondot is located in France, within the Saint Emilion Grand Cru appellation of Bordeaux. Dating back to the 17th century, the estate gained its name in 1850 when it was acquired by Raymond Troplong. Perched at the highest point of the appellation, the vineyard’s philosophy emphasizes a deep respect for its unique clay-limestone terroir and long-term environmental stewardship, having abolished pesticides in 2002.
Wine Description
This 2016 vintage presents a deep garnet-purple colour and opens with a profound aromatic profile of plum preserves, blackberry pie, and candied violets, accented by notes of licorice, chocolate, and smoked earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, opulent, and decadently textured, showcasing tightly wound black fruit layers framed by firm, ripe tannins and a limestone-driven minerality.
