La Mondotte 2003 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Saint-Émilion appellation, crafted predominantly from Merlot, with a blend of Cabernet Franc. This wine originates from a renowned single-vineyard, situated on a clay-limestone plateau, which contributes to its character. The 2003 vintage faced high temperatures, yet the vineyard`s limestone foundation imparts a thread of mineral complexity amid the dense fruit profile. La Mondotte benefits from low yields, allowing for concentrated flavour development.
