Chateau Troplong Mondot Saint Emilion 2020 (750ml)
Powerful and poised, the 2020 Troplong Mondot opens with aromas of ripe black cherries, boysenberries and fresh violets, layered with graphite, gunpowder and wild herbs. The palate is expansive but tightly held, delivering plush, juicy fruit framed by taut acidity and firm yet fine tannins. Made with 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, it showcases the vineyard’s natural richness while preserving remarkable lift and definition. A modern classic in the making, with tremendous aging potential.

The 2020 Troplong Mondot is fabulous. Rich, dark, and expansive, the 2020 is wonderfully exuberant right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, and licorice are all dialed up. There's tremendous breadth and power, but without the excess weight of the past. Even so, the 2020 is a big, big wine that needs the better part of a decade to soften. All the classic Troplong structure is there, but buffered by vibrant acids and tons of supporting minerality. Harvest started on September 5 and finished October 8, a very wide window for the Right Bank, and a reminder of how different the parcels are. The 2020 was done in 60% new oak, 12% foudres, and 28% once-used barrels.
