Château Troplong Mondot, 2022 - Magnum 2022

Since 2017, Château Troplong Mondot has been under new ownership (SCOR) and management by Aymeric de Gironde, who has significantly refined its viticulture and cellar practices. The 2022 vintage marks a fine moment in Troplong Mondot’s more modern era: under the renewed leadership, the wine expresses both power and restraint. The limestone-rich, elevated terroir gives freshness and a chalky backbone, while the winemaking choices (lower new oak, careful selection) allow the purity of fruit to shine. A wine that feels deeply rooted in its place, but crafted with a contemporary sensibility. The estate sits atop Mondot Hill, the highest point in Saint-Émilion, reaching about 110 meters. Its vineyards span roughly 43 hectares, planted on a complex terroir of limestone, clay, and flint soils, which contributes to the wine’s signature minerality.
