Troplong Mondot 背景
蒙特酒莊（Domaine de Mondot）由 Abbe Raymond de Seze 於1745年建成。 1850年Raymond Troplong 購買了它，並加上自己個名組成 Troplong Mondot。 卓龍（Troplong）是法國人，著名律師，藝術和文學愛好者，直至1869年 Troplong去世。 後來來自巴黎的葡萄酒商人亞歷山大·瓦萊特（Alexandre Valette）在20 世紀初期收購了酒莊。他在Fronsac 已有酒莊，之後仲買埋旁邊的 Chateau Paive。亞歷山大（Alexandre）的兒子伯納德（Bernard），其孫子克勞德（Claude）緊隨其後，成為莊園的經理。 Christine Valette- Pariente 和她的丈夫 Xavier Pariente1990 開始整理酒莊，他們聘請米歇爾·羅蘭（Michel Rolland）為顧問釀酒師，扭轉了1970年代和1980年代莊園的質量下降。Christine 改用人工採摘，決定拔除 Malbec，降低產量，從而提高酒的集中度，2009年份的酒更去到15.5%自然酒精度數。2005年及2009年獲得RP 99分。在2006年聖埃美隆（Saint-Emilion）評級時被評為 Premisers Grands Crus Classes B，而2012 年評選時亦得以保留同樣級別。Christine在2014年病逝，2017年易手到法國一間保險公司 SOCR，現在酒莊由前 Cos d’Estournel 波爾多左岸 2級莊 Aymericde Gironde 主管打理。
酒莊位置優越 + 聘用 Romanée-Conti 相同的土壤醫生+ 堅持生物多樣性 20年
正莊有28 hectares，連埋副牌15 hectares共43 hectares.位高110米海拔山上，是整個 Saint Emilion 最高點，亦係該區最大的單一莊園。毗連 Pavie, Pavie Macquin。正牌每年只產85,000瓶。2007年開始搵咗 Lydia and Claude Bourguignon 檢察土壤，深入研究葡萄園土壤，掘到1.5米深土壤去睇睇條葡萄根生成咩分叉形狀，從而分析夠唔夠去水，土壤有冇微生物活動等等再提供改善方法，例如﹕在不損害土壤的情況下殺死葡萄藤病毒，重新種植現有的葡萄園，為特定的風土選擇最佳品種，等等。由葡萄酒最根本-土壤做起，到最後釀酒階段時就不用作太多人為的修飾，自然地呈現酒莊的風土。而且土壤醫生係長期合作，非一次性。有些客人已是20年的合作關係。佢地既客人中，包括大大小小名莊，好似地表最貴的酒 Romanée-Conti, Domaines Leflaive, Lafon等等都係佢地既客人。
酒莊酒質得以再進一步提升還要多得莊園周圍的環境受保護已超過20年，生物多樣性，樹籬，森林和受庇護動物群生活和諧，當然葡萄亦能健康地生長。

The 2014 Troplong Mondot is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage, and this beauty has more intensity, richness, and exuberance than just about every other wine in 2014. A blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc brought up in 85% new French oak, it sports a deep purple/plum color as well as a smorgasbord of blackcurrants, blackberries, scorched earth, toasty oak, graphite, espresso, and earth. With full-bodied richness, beautiful purity of fruit, and a rich, yet weightless texture, it’s a big, yet classy, elegant, and seamless wine from Xavier Pariente that should be snatched up by readers. It’s already drinking well but has 20-25 years of prime drinking to go.
🏅 James Suckling 95pts
The dark, savory, earthy and plum aromas plus the serious tannins here give this wine a lot of character, but it really needs a couple of years to open up. The finish packs a big tannic punch. For the long term. Try in 2024.
🏅 Wine Advocate 94pts
The 2014 Troplong-Mondot performed to my expectation now that the wine is in bottle. It has a refined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry preserve and mineral scents that gain intensity in the glass, but never get carried away. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tensile in the mouth but surprisingly linear and conservative, at least in the first half. It is fresh and precise, then delivers the weight and concentration as it fans out on the finish, a residue of white pepper tingling on the aftertaste. This is a delicious Troplong Mondot that should age with style and grace.
🏅 Wine Spectator 94pts
Solidly built, with some heft to the core of raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry confiture flavors. Delivers ample cut and drive thanks to the racy graphite beam. Hints of ganache and Turkish coffee add a bass line without taking away definition or purity. Best from 2022 through 2035.
🏅 Wine Enthusiast 92-94pts
This wine is rich and concentrated, with great weight and personality—every element seems larger than life. The ripe plum flavors are forward and juicy. The finish has a subtle warmth of alcohol.
