Chateau Troplong Mondot Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

99 Jeb Dunnuck -
A wine I was able to taste on multiple occasions, the 2015 Troplong Mondot is a tour de force that readers need to snatch up. This cuvee comes from the cool, clay and limestone soils on the upper plateau (it's the highest point in the appellation) and is a blend of 92% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvest between September 30th and October 21st, that was brought up in 85% new French oak. Sporting a deep, inky color as well as a sensational bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberry, toasted spice, licorice and spring flowers, it's another huge wine from this estate that has perfect balance between its fruit, oak and tannin, a stacked mid-palate, and an incredible finish. I wrote "crazy good" more than once in my notes. It has enough fruit and texture to drink nicely even today, yet needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for two to three decades. It's one of the great wines of the vintage.

Expressive, ripe dark plums swathed in aromas of mocha, toasted baking spices, graphite, blackberries and mulberries. The flavor-soaked palate arrives on suave, velvety tannins, delivering flavors of vibrant, concentrated dark plums, mulberries, dark chocolate and cocoa in a youthful, fresh style. Terrific wine with ultra-long finish. An essay in power and elegance. Essence-like. Best from 2020.

One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Troplong Mondot has come together beautifully over the last year and half. Rich and sumptuous to the core, it is a classic wine from this property, built on serious fruit density and textural richness. Dark red cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and spice are some of the many notes that build as the 2015 shows off its irrepressible personality. A viscerally exciting, resonant wine, it just needs a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Tasted two times.
96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Blended of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in French oak, 85% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Troplong Mondot is redolent of warm plums, blackberry tart and blueberry pie with suggestions of underbrush, bay leaves, cedar chest and lavender plus a waft of baking spices. Full-bodied and full-throttle in the mouth, the palate is decadently packed with a solid core of black and blue fruit layers, supported with firm, grainy tannins and finishing with loads of spicy layers. This pedal-to-the-metal beauty is the ultimate indulgence for the hedonists!

Just landed direct from Bordeaux. The big gun, of course, is the ‘15 Troplong The critics agree -- this is one of the most hedonistic, powerful vintages ever from Troplong, and harkens back to the stunning 1990, a game changer that is still thrilling collectors today.

 $124.95 --- wood cases available on request (larger orders get priority; they are 12 pack wood boxes). We bought every bottle we could, but this is first come, first served. Free ground shipping on 6+ bottles (of anything) per usual!

About the Producer

Troplong Mondot is our ace in the hole of Saint Emilion, consistently turning out spectacular wines despite the quality of the vintage. While the estate has changed hands many times over the years, it has most recently been sold for a record setting 3.3 million dollars per acre! The new owners quickly started expanding their vineyard holdings and hiring Aymeric de Gironde as the estate director. They also began the construction of a new cellar that will be done in 2020. Look for good things coming here!
