1978 Château Troplong Mondot

Saint- Emilion Grand Cru B

    塞茲（Seze）家族創建該酒莊的歷史可追溯到1745年，當時它和Chateau Pavie都屬於同一片葡萄園。1850年開始Raymond Troplong成為新的酒莊主人，當時他是著名法國有名望的參議員，並將其獨立劃分出來Troplong Mondotup 因此誕生了！。之後由Valette家族收購Alexandre Valette是巴黎的酒商，另也擁有其他莊園。目前酒莊的主人是Valette的外孫女和丈夫Xavier Pariente，共同經營酒莊。1955年評為聖愛美濃列級一級特等酒莊B級(Crus classés de Saint-Emilion)。

    葡萄園總面積33公頃葡萄種植比例：Merlto 90%、Cabernet Franc 5%、Cabernet Sauvignon 5%。葡萄樹平均年齡為30年。土壤由柔軟的粘土遮蓋厚重的石灰石，加上底層自然而完整地排水，賦予葡萄園新活力，葡萄成熟後採用手工採摘，在溫度控制下的不銹鋼槽發酵。之後放入75%新橡木桶進行乳酸發酵並陳釀12~24個月，不進行過濾。這些條件讓葡萄酒擁有厚實的酒體和豐富堅實的單寧。明亮的紅寶石色澤，精緻的濃郁度皆歸功於粘土狀的鈣質土壤，與燧石和石灰石的沉澱物相結合，釀造出Saint Emilion富有代表性的特級佳釀。

Troplong Mondot occupies great terroir. The 33 hectare vineyard is situated on the slopes, at an elevation that allows views of the entire St. Emilion village. The elevation at the highest point reaches over 100 meters. The soil consists of deep limestone deposits under layers of thick clay. There are also sedimentary fragments of flint and limestone. Since 1988, the plantings at Troplong Mondot have changed, slowly, but surely.

According to Christine Valette, 1989, was the first vintage Troplong Mondot produced its first great Bordeaux wine of the modern era. In 1989, the final blend was 65% Merlot , 15% Cabernet Sauvignon , 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. That wine could not be made today as the vineyards are planted differently. Currently, the vineyard is planted to 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc. During the replanting, new root stocks were used, which assist in low yields. The average age of the vines is about 25 years. But there are old vines that are close to 100 years old, located near the barrel room at the top of the slopes
