Established on the highest point of the appellation, it was initially called Château Mondot and belonged to Romain Desèze, defender of King Louis XVI. It was later owned by Raymond Troplong, a lawyer and politician, who acquired it in 1850 and gave it its final name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Domaine is now owned by the SCOR Group since 2017, with Aymeric de Gironde taking the reins as general manager, wanting to make Troplong-Mondot one of the greatest wines on the international wine scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100\/100 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2022 Troplong Mondot has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and blackberries mingled with notions of liquorice, rose petals, incense and pencil shavings, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with huge mid-palate volume, superb integration and an ineffable sense of completeness. This site always delivers power, but I've never tasted a Troplong that's simultaneously quite so powerful or quite so harmonious and suave. Concluding with a broad, violet-inflected finish, the 2022 represents the essence of this remarkable site. 2028 - 2055\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100 Points - Georgina Hindle, Decanter.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A supremely excellent Troplong in 2022 that has the hallmarks of a concentrated vintage but delivered with ultimate poise and precision. A joy to taste and once again one of my favourites. Sharp, sleek, sour, bright and cool - I love the instant freshness and drinkability of this, tannins are fresh and detailed with both a plush and cool texture underpinned by layers of flavour with depth and concentration. Clearly muscular but pixelated - it’s not tense, lean or austere but generous, charming and playful. Supple and succulent, still with ripe strawberry, cherry and raspberry fruit, a mix of bright red and black berries with wet stone, liquorice, dark chocolate and graphite giving the terroir. Silky, balanced acidity and overall so well controlled and presented.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97-99\/100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Clearly the finest wine to date under the new team and direction here, the 2022 Château Troplong Mondot reveals a vivid purple hue as well as sensational notes of black raspberries, cassis, acacia flowers, and graphite, with a beautiful underpinning of chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has flawless balance, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. The purity, precision, and just sheer class are something to behold.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96-98+\/100 Points - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2022 Troplong Mondot needs a swirl or two to awaken scents of blueberry compote, juicy blackberries, and Morello cherries, giving way to fragrant wafts of raspberry leaves, wilted roses, Ceylon tea, crushed rocks, and cedar, plus a hint of liquorice. The concentrated, big, voluptuous, full-bodied palate is bursting with bright, shiny black and red berry layers, supported by super-plush tannins and fantastic tension, finishing with epic length and loads of mineral sparks.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Matches:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eRed Meat, Lamb, Chicken, Cheese\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Troplong Mondot","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":58391757750603,"sku":"WOLRE13301S","price":1110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":58391757783371,"sku":"WOLRE13302S","price":2220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58391757816139,"sku":"WOLRE13303S","price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Troplong_Mondot_Wood.jpg?v=1788766890","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-troplong-mondot-saint-emilion-1er-grand-cru-classe-2022","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
