More questions
Château Troplong Mondot is a red wine from Saint-Émilion that conveys an intense yet restrained character. On the nose there are aromas of ripe red fruit, notes of small dark berries and spicy hints, with earthy undertones and a mineral thread that balances the wine’s depth. On the palate it shows structure, present but polished tannins, and a balance of acidity and body that supports a long, enveloping sip. The texture is rich without being heavy, with fruity echoes and toasted notes on the finish. Aromatic complexity develops over time, revealing touches of cocoa and sweet tobacco without weighing the wine down.
Recommended with red meat dishes, flavorful roasts and aged cheeses; it also benefits from light aeration through decanting to better release its aromas. Serving temperature around 16–18 °C. For those with cellaring options, it can be appreciated in the short to medium term, while remaining perfectly enjoyable if consumed earlier with attentive service. A suitable choice for those seeking a characterful wine for formal occasions or convivial meals.

The story
La viticoltura nell'area risale all'epoca romana e si è sviluppata intensamente nel medioevo grazie alla posizione sulla via di pellegrinaggio verso Santiago de Compostela; la giurisdizione e le tradizioni locali, come la Jurade, hanno contribuito a costruire la fama dei vini di Saint-Émilion.

Production philosophy
Valorizzare il legame tra territorio, pratiche tradizionali e qualità enologica: l'identità di Saint-Émilion si fonda sulla ricerca dell'espressione del terroir nei vini rossi e sul mantenimento di standard qualitativi attraverso un sistema di classificazione locale.
Terroir and vineyards
Situata nella Gironda, nella regione Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a est di Bordeaux (Right Bank), l'area combina suoli argillo-calcarei e collinari che favoriscono la coltivazione di Merlot e Cabernet Franc e una forte frammentazione dei cru.
