Chateau Troplong Mondot 2017 Saint Emilion
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Troplong Mondot 2017 Saint Emilion im Dezember 2019:Very perfumed and subtle with crushed currants. smoke and blackberries. Medium to full body. Compressed. round tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows focus and finesse with serious structure for the vintage. It grows slowly on the palate. Really beautiful. Drink after 2022.
Antonio Galloni im März 2020: The 2017 Troplong Mondot is stunning. just as it was en primeur. Rich and ample. yet endowed with striking energy as well. the 2017 is the first vintage made by new CEO Aymeric de Gironde and consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos. The 2017 takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. All of the power that is typical of this site is evident. it seems to come so naturally. and yet picking earlier and then using a lighter hand in the cellar yielded a Troplong of uncommon energy and vibrancy. The 2017 has been nothing short of thrilling on the four occasions I have tasted it from bottle so far. What a wine!
The 2017 Chateau Troplong Mondot continues in the new style of this estate and is based on 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc from healthy yields of 48 hectoliters per hectare. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a stunning perfume of creme de cassis, black raspberries, white chocolate, crushed flowers, and a terrific sense of minerality. Flawlessly balanced, medium to full-bodied, and nicely concentrated, it shows the more elegant, classical style of the vintage beautifully. It has the texture and balance to drink brilliantly today yet will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for two decades or more.

The 2017 Troplong Mondot is blended of 85% Merlot. 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color. it offers up a cedar chest. cinnamon stick and cloves-laced nose with a core of crème de cassis. blackberry compote and preserved plums plus wafts of licorice. violets and sandalwood. Full-bodied. concentrated and sporting a firm frame of velvety tannins. it has a lively line lifting the densely packed fruit. finishing long and on a compelling savory note.

Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:The 2017 Troplong Mondot is easily one of the wines of the vintage. New CEO Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Cos d’Estournel) and consulting oenologist Thomas Duclos are masterminding a remarkable new chapter in the life of Troplong Mondot. A major stylistic shift in the direction of freshness and energy has resulted in a positively stunning Troplong Mondot endowed with tremendous depth and vibrant. A rush of black cherry. plum. mocha. new leather and spice builds as this gorgeous Saint-Émilion shows off its breeding and total class.
