Château Troplong Mondot, located on the prestigious plateau of Saint-Émilion, produces wines of exceptional quality, and the 2001 vintage is no exception. This Grand Cru Classé showcases the estate's commitment to excellence, with meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques. The wine is primarily composed of Merlot, with a notable proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, adding depth and structure.

This estate continues to merit substantial praise. Let’s hope in the upcoming revised Classification of the Wines of St.-Emilion, Troplong Mondot merits elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classe, which it has deserved for some time. Not far off the pace of the spectacular 2000, the 2001 is performing even better from bottle than it was from cask. A gorgeous perfume of plum jam, creme de cassis, flowers, licorice, black fruits, a hint of graphite, and well-integrated wood notes are followed by a medium to full-bodied St.-Emilion with superb texture, great flavour purity, and tremendous harmony as well as elegance. Remarkably approachable despite its impressive concentration and well-concealed tannin, this is a beauty. 2004
