Chateau Troplong Mondot 1st Grand Cru Classe Saint Emilion 2015 75cl

Veinimõisa pikk ja värvikas ajalugu ulatub 17. sajandisse. Tänapäeval on veinimõisa omanikuks Prantsuse kindlustusselts, kes ostis valdused 2017. aastal. Peale seda alustati kohe veinikeldri renoveerimisega ja osteti maad juurde naabritelt. Kokku on hetkel nende kasutuses 37 hektarit maad, millest 85% on Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon ja 2% Cabernet Franc. Troplong Mondot asub suurepärases paigas, Saint Emilioni platoo tipus ja nõlvadel. Terroir koosneb sügavast lubjakivi kihist, mida katab paks kiht savi. Vein küpseb keskmiselt Prantsuse tammest vaatides 16 kuni 24 kuud.

James Suckling – 97 Points
Expressive, ripe dark plums swathed in aromas of mocha, toasted baking spices, graphite, blackberries and mulberries. The flavor-soaked palate arrives on suave, velvety tannins, delivering flavors of vibrant, concentrated dark plums, mulberries, dark chocolate and cocoa in a youthful, fresh style. Terrific wine with ultra-long finish. An essay in power and elegance. Essence-like. Best from 2020.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 96 Points
Blended of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in French oak, 85% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Troplong Mondot is redolent of warm plums, blackberry tart and blueberry pie with suggestions of underbrush, bay leaves, cedar chest and lavender plus a waft of baking spices. Full-bodied and full-throttle in the mouth, the palate is decadently packed with a solid core of black and blue fruit layers, supported with firm, grainy tannins and finishing with loads of spicy layers. This pedal-to-the-metal beauty is the ultimate indulgence for the hedonists!
