Since 2017, Château Troplong Mondot has been under new ownership (SCOR) and management by Aymeric de Gironde, who has significantly refined its viticulture and cellar practices.
The 2022 vintage marks a fine moment in Troplong Mondot’s more modern era: under the renewed leadership, the wine expresses both power and restraint. The limestone-rich, elevated terroir gives freshness and a chalky backbone, while the winemaking choices (lower new oak, careful selection) allow the purity of fruit to shine. A wine that feels deeply rooted in its place, but crafted with a contemporary sensibility.
The estate sits atop Mondot Hill, the highest point in Saint-Émilion, reaching about 110 meters. Its vineyards span roughly 43 hectares, planted on a complex terroir of limestone, clay, and flint soils, which contributes to the wine’s signature minerality.
What the critics say:
"The 2022 Troplong Mondot has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and blackberries mingled with notions of licorice, 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."
"Glorious aromatics burst out of the glass with scents of dried herbs, tobacco, mint and blackcurrant. Sumptuous and filling in the best way, the texture, weight and depth of the flavours here is seriously impressive - round and wide but so finessed so that it doesn't feel too heavy. Restrained power with such confidence. Balanced, harmonious and totally moreish, this is an incredible wine that already feels so approachable. Tannins are flawless and the juicy berry fruit with soft salted liquorice edges give nuance and interest. Still a little shy but such potential here. Wonderful."
