The estate — the second wine of the legendary Château Troplong Mondot — occupies a position like no other in the appellation, its lofty elevation and unique soil profile setting it apart from its neighbors on the limestone plateau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret lies beneath the surface: Mondot's hill is one of the only places in Saint-Émilion where ancient Agenais Molasse clays, formed during the region's geological creation, have survived erosion to great depths, overlying the \u003cem\u003eastéries\u003c\/em\u003e limestone so characteristic of the appellation. This rare clay-over-limestone profile is the defining signature of Mondot's wines — lending them structure, freshness, and a distinctive mineral tension that sets them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Mondot holds a special place in the estate's history: it is the \u003cstrong\u003elast vintage produced exclusively from Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e grown on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau — a milestone worth cellaring. Bright and vibrant in character, the wine reflects the cool, precise nature of the 2021 vintage with crystalline energy and elegant restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby in the glass, the wine opens with floral wildflower and crushed flower aromas, followed by red cherry, blackberry, currant, orange peel, cola, mint, and white pepper, with a touch of toasted oak and blue fruit. The palate is refined and focused — not plush or heavy — with pure acidity, a gorgeous tannic structure, and a mouthwatering, saline finish with notes of liquorice and wet stone. Drink from 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast — 93 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Floral wildflower aromas.
