white cherry

Quite a serious wine for Bourgogne rouge

Earthy minerality is the centerpiece of this bottling

but it will not hit its prime for another 5-7 years

as ripe red berries mingle with saline minerals to add balancing tension

2020 | Mondot de Château Troplong Mondot | Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant white cherryUnwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet blackberries and raspberries mingled with hints of rose petal and spices, the 2020 Mondot is medium to full bodied, ample and fleshy, with a pure, seamless core of vibrant fruit and a long, succulent finish. Derived from Merlot growing on recently acquired vineyards on Saint milion's limestone plateau, some 40% of the blend is matured in tank, with the rest in once used barriques. 93 Pts Wine Advocate
