The Château Troplong Mondot 1985, Premier Grand Cru Classé B, comes from the limestone soils of Saint-Émilion. A majority Merlot blend, it unveils aromas of dark fruits and liquorice, elevated by barrel ageing. Its palate, lively and mineral, pairs perfectly with roast duck.
Château Troplong Mondot
Nestled at the summit of the Saint-Émilion appellation, this estate embodies the union of an exceptional terroir and a demanding winemaking heritage.
- Terroir: Limestone and clay-chalk soils, at the highest elevation in the appellation, shaping wines of distinctive minerality and rare depth.
- Vinification: Meticulous ageing in oak barrels, where Merlot, the dominant grape variety, blossoms into cuvées that are both powerful and silkily elegant.
Tasting notes for Château Troplong Mondot Troplong Mondot 1985
In the glass: A garnet red robe with brick-red reflections, dense and slightly veiled by time, revealing a velvety texture and generous body.
On the nose: A bouquet where notes of wild blackberry and candied blackcurrant intertwine, followed by hints of liquorice, cedar and a saline touch reminiscent of the estate's chalky subsoils.
On the palate: A broad, fleshy attack, carried by a lively acidity that balances the richness of the melted tannins, while a chalky minerality extends a remarkably long finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
Vintage 1985
A vintage marked by optimal grape maturity, offering wines that are both structured and of an early elegance, while retaining a remarkable ageing potential.
- Drinking window: Ready to drink now.
