Chateau Troplong Mondot

Saint-Emilion Premisers Grands Crus Classes B

Chateau Troplong Mondot has a long and colorful history in Saint Emilion that dates back to the 17th century. In those days, what we know as Troplong Mondot was the property of Abbe Raymond de Seze. It was de Seze who created the beautiful chateau that remains at Troplong Mondot today.

When the chateau was being constructed in 1745, the de Seze family was already established in the Bordeaux wine community. In fact, they owned several different properties in St. Emilion in those days.

Jumping ahead about 100 years, the namesake of the estate purchased vineyards. In 1850, Raymond Troplong became the owner of this Right Bank estate. Following the custom of the time, the new owner, Troplong combined the name of the land with his last name and came up with Troplong Mondot.

During his tenure at Troplong Mondot, he increased the size of their vineyard until it reached the exact size it remains today. Eventually, the estate was sold to the well-known negociant, Georges Thienpont from Belgium.

Three years later, Georges Thienpont purchased another property, Vieux Chateau Certan in the neighboring appellation of Pomerol. Needing money after obtaining Vieux Chateau Certan, in 1936, Thienpont was forced to sell Troplong Mondot.

The property at that time passed into the hands of Alexander Valette. Like Georges Thienpont, Alexander Valette was a well known Bordeaux negociant. Chateau Troplong Mondot remained a family-owned property from 1936, until 2017.

Chateau Troplong Mondot The Modern Age

Christine Valette began to manage the property starting in 1980. Running Chateau Troplong Mondot has always been a family affair. Once Christine Valette took over the management of Chateau Troplong Mondot, things quickly changed for the better.

They stopped harvesting by machine and started picking by hand. They began picking later and reduced the yields to increase the concentration of the wine. The remaining Malbec vines were removed. To further reduce yields, they changed from single to double Guyot pruning.

In the cellars, they focused on sorting, added temperature control to the vats, and increased the percentage of new, French oak barrels to age the wine. They also created a second wine, Mondot, which made its debut in 1985.

The next change was in the vinification, when 11 new, stainless steel vats were added, making Troplong Mondot one of the first estates in the area to vinify on a parcel by parcel basis. All these changes began to show in the increased quality of Chateau Troplong Mondot, which quickly became known as one of the top wines in the Right Bank.

Christine Valette also hired Michel Rolland. Things changed again when Jean-Philippe Fort began to consult the estate in 2000. They changed consultants again with the 2017 vintage when they brought in Thomas Duclos as the consultant.

The first vintage that really stood out for Troplong Mondot was 1989, which was followed by the stunning and exotic, 1990 Troplong Mondot. The decade of the 1990s was mixed for Chateau Troplong Mondot, with 1998 standing out as the best wine of the decade.

Things once again changed for the better with the 2000 Troplong Mondot. From that point forward, the chateau could do no wrong. Vintage after vintage produced great wines. 2005, 2009, and 2010 are all remarkable wines that were overseen by Christine Valette and Xavier Pariente.

Sadly, on March 28, 2014, Christine Valette passed away. Christine Valette Remembered.

Chateau Troplong Mondot was been ably managed by Xavier Pariente who has been involved with the estate since 2002. In July 2017, Chateau Troplong Mondot was sold to the French Insurance Company, SCOR for the then record-setting price of 7 Million Euros per hectare.

Starting in 2017, shortly after the purchase, the new owners began construction of new cellars. The project should be completed by 2020. In 2018, Troplong Mondot brought in Aymeric de Gironde as the director and terminated the consulting services of Jean Philippe Forts. The new owners also purchased additional vineyard land from neighboring estates Chateau Bellisle Mondotte and Clos La Barde.

Starting with the 2017 vintage, the style of Troplong Mondot went through a complete change. The estate began harvesting earlier, reducing the amount of new oak, and vinification techniques were also modified.

The wine is now fresher, less concentrated, and offers more of a classic profile. You find more limestone than clay terroir in the wine.
