Château Troplong Mondot sits on the highest point of Saint-Émilion and has been a Premier Grand Cru Classé since the 2006 classification, upheld in 2012. The 2014 was made under the Valette family; the insurer SCOR bought the estate in July 2017. Its second wine is Mondot.

Jeb Dunnuck gives the 2014 blend as 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, aged in 85% new French oak. It's 14.5% alcohol.

Jeb Dunnuck calls it a big, yet classy, elegant and seamless wine. James Suckling notes dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas, and Wine Spectator praises its ample cut and drive thanks to a racy graphite beam. One retailer quotes Wine Advocate on a medium-bodied palate with fine tannin.

Against Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere 2020, Troplong Mondot is Merlot-led and has years of bottle age behind it; for a Right Bank bottle that is ready to open, choose Troplong Mondot.

The Wine Cellar Insider suggests serving it at about 60°F and decanting young vintages for two to three hours. Pair it with roast lamb or duck.

Awards

96.0 Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2014 Troplong Mondot is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage, and this beauty has more intensity, richness, and exuberance than just about every other wine in 2014. A blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc brought up in 85% new French oak, it sports a deep purple/plum color as well as a smorgasbord of blackcurrants, blackberries, scorched earth, toasty oak, graphite, espresso, and earth. With full-bodied richness, beautiful purity of fruit, and a rich, yet weightless texture, it’s a big, yet classy, elegant, and seamless wine from Xavier Pariente that should be snatched up by readers. It’s already drinking well but has 20-25 years of prime drinking to go."

95.0 James Suckling
"The dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas plus the serious tannins here give this wine a lot of character, but it really needs a couple of years to open up. The finish packs a big tannic punch. For the long term. Try in 2024."
