Château Troplong Mondot

Château Troplong Mondot

Chateau Troplong Mondot is the Premier Grand Cru Classe B. The beautiful winery dates back to 1745, when Troplong Mondot was part of a large domain, including even the vineyards of Chateau Pavie. The winery now has 33 ha of vineyards along Mondot Hill, northeast of the Saint-Emilion appellation, planted with 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Due to the cooler terroir on the hills and the clay soil, Troplong Mondot are often the last to harvest. 75% of the barrels are new French oak, where the wine ages for 16 to 24 months. Chateau Troplong Mondot wine has a unique style - thick and filling the mouth, but never heavy. It is more sensual than elegant for the palate, full of flavors and develops and ages beautifully.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France, stretching 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean coast; in 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that has remained largely stable over the previous decade; the main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, and from these, various wines are made, with each producer having their own blend and proportions of the grape varieties; some of the most famous, expensive, and long-lasting wines in the world are produced here, with the subregions Medoc, Graves, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, and many others being well-known; Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River into the left and right banks; the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is characterized by a more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine blend, while on the right bank (St. Emilion, Pomerol) Merlot predominates; in addition to red wines, Bordeaux is also famous for producing white wines, mainly a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with the subregion Sauternes leading the ranking and the renowned Chateau d’Yquem, celebrated for its complex, multi-layered, aromatic, and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Merlot

Merlot

Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
