The 2019 Mondot de Château Troplong Mondot Magnum (1500ml) is the elegant second wine of the renowned Château Troplong Mondot in Saint-Émilion. Produced from carefully selected vineyard parcels, the excellent 2019 vintage captures the estate's signature richness and limestone-driven freshness in a more approachable style. The nose is expressive with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by violet, cocoa, cedar and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, offering excellent balance and precision. Flavours of ripe dark berries, cassis and liquorice are layered with gentle French oak and mineral notes, leading to a smooth, polished finish. Presented in a magnum format, the wine will mature more slowly, allowing additional complexity to develop over time.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for entertaining or for those looking to cellar a refined Saint-Émilion. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 10–15 years.
