Chateau Troplong Mondot has a long and colorful history in St. Emilion that dates back to the 17th century. In those days, what we know as Troplong Mondot was the property of Abbe Raymond de Seze. It was de Seze who created the beautiful chateau that remains at Troplong Mondot today. In 1850 Raymond Troplong became owner and combined his name with the name of the land. From 1936 on it was a family-owned property, in the capable hands of the Valette family in the person of Christine Valette; She died in 2014, and in 2017 the estate was sold to SOCR, a major French insurance company. Troplong Mondot occupies great terroir situated on top of the Saint Emilion plateau and slopes, at an elevation that allows views of the entire St. Emilion village. The vineyards are planted largely to Merlot, with about 15% Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, with the average age of the vines being 30 years, but there are some vines that were planted in the years right after World War II and a few that go back to 1926. This 2010 version offers beautiful floral notes of red roses and candied violets over a core of plum preserves, kirsch and blueberry pie. Full-bodied, rich and decadently fruited, it has loads of plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing very long.
