The Château Troplong Mondot 2016 is a prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé (B) wine from Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux. It is widely regarded by critics as a “superstar” of the exceptional 2016 vintage.
Tasting Profile
- Aroma: Intense notes of blackberry tart, plum preserves, and blueberry pie, accented by Indian spices, espresso, cigar box, and tilled soil.
- Palate: Full-bodied and plushly textured. It offers a “smorgasbord” of blue and black fruits with a lively backbone of acidity and creamy tannins.
- Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent with hints of black pepper and dark chocolate.
Drinking Window
- Critics suggest this wine has a long life ahead. While it can be enjoyed now with significant decanting (2–3 hours), it is ideally consumed between 2026 and 2050 to allow its complex structure to fully integrate
