Ch Troplong Mondot
Chateau Troplong Mondot, overlooking the village of Saint Emilion, sits on the top of a hill and dominates the surrounding countryside. The 33 hectare vineyard is considered to be a large estate as the majority of properties in this area are usually no bigger than 10 ha. The vineyard is planted traditionally with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
In 1850, Raymond-Theodore Troplong acquired Mondot and helped contribute to expanding the vineyard and promoting the reputation. His successor, Edouard Troplong, added Mondot to his own name. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Valette family bought the property and in the 80’s, Christine and Xavier Pariente improve the quality of their wines and its renown around the world. A sustainable, original and innovative cultural approach is set up.
Troplong Mondot is rewarded in 2006 by the ten-yearly classification of Saint-Emilion, placing Troplong Mondot First Great Classified Growth.
