Saint-Emilion

2016 Saint Emilion Grand Cru Merlot, Cabernet Franc

Chateau Troplong Mondot from the esteemed Saint-Emilion Grand Cru region is an exceptional red wine crafted primarily from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage showcases a beautiful deep ruby color, hinting at the rich flavors within. With a full-bodied structure, it elegantly balances high acidity, contributing to a refreshing and lively mouthfeel. The wine's prominent fruit intensity reveals enticing notes of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and cherry, while subtle hints of tobacco and earthiness add depth and complexity. The tannins are notably firm and structured, providing a solid backbone that promises longevity and aging potential. This well-crafted blend is utterly dry, making it a perfect companion for a wide range of savory dishes, and its harmonious profile invites enjoyment with every sip.
