2021 Château Troplong Mondot, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Merlot 85%, Cabernet Sauvignon 13%, Cabernet Franc 2%

This is Aymeric de Gironde’s fourth vintage here; he understands more each year about this powerful terroir. Uniquely, the vines are on uneroded original clay (not on the more-common eroded limestone) so getting depth and strength from the wine is never an issue. The delicacy of 2021 is a perfect foil, adding light and shade to the usual intensity. The bouquet is currently shy, the palate tight and interleaved – showing the wine’s brooding richness before crisp aromatics of cherry and thyme emerge. This is potentially outstanding. Drink 2028-2045.

Our score: 18/20

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
