We are delighted to offer the two superb back-to-back vintages of 2009 & 2010 from ChÃ¢teau Troplong Mondot in Saint-Emilion with pristine provenance, sourced directly from the Chateau's own cellars!

ChÃ¢teau Troplong Mondot has changed hands many times since it was built in the mid seventeen hundreds, but really came to the fore under the guidance of the late Christine Valette. The Valette family had owned 33-hectare Troplong Mondot since the thirties, but Christine took over the running of it alongside her husband Xavier Pariente in 1981. Under her direction, the estate began picking later, reducing yields, and increasing new oak. In recognition of its rising critical acclaim, it was promoted in 2006 to the prestigious rank of Premier Grand Cru ClassÃ© in the St Emilion rankings.

Given that these are of pristine Ex-Chateau provenance, we can offer both at prices that are very attractive...opportunities like these don't come along very often...don't miss out!

Inky, bluish/black/purple, with notes of spring flowers, licorice, camphor, graphite, and a boatload of blueberry, black raspberry and blackberry fruit, this is a powerful, full-bodied Troplong Mondot. All the building components of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol are judiciously and impressively integrated. It is a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made by Christine Valette and her husband Xavier Pariente with the consultancy help of Michel Rolland. I-m not sure what the heady alcohol level is in Troplong Mondot in 2010 (it certainly must be in the 15%+ range), but it is well-concealed behind the extravagant, richness, full-bodied power, and pure nobility of this majestic wine. Forget this for 5-7 years and drink it over the following three decades. An absolutely stunning wine from this estate, which seems to be on a mission to produce exquisite world-class wines with enormous aging potential, the 2010 is showing better from bottle than it even did from barrel. - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Pure perfection in a glass, the incredible 2009 Troplong Mondot offers off the chart notes of blackcurrants, licorice, truffles and saddle leather that just soar from the glass. This is a big, ripe, incredibly sexy wine that hits the palate with a huge texture, building, ripe tannin, no weight, and a finish that just won't quit. Utterly brilliant stuff, it's slightly more approachable than the 2005, but both of these vintages play in the same style. Drink bottles anytime over the coming two to three decades. Bravo! - Jeb Dunnuck
