There have been huge changes at Troplong Mondot since 2017, when the estate saw new ownership and Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Pichon Baron) took the helm, with Thomas Duclos advising. Recent vintages have been extraordinary, teasing out the nuances of the terroir, and with remarkable consistency across vintages. Chapeau, we say. It's no overstatement to suggest that Troplong is quickly becoming a cult favourite, its new and contemporary style recognised amongst the finest on the Right Bank. Today's release represents a 19% discount on the 2023 release price

"The 2024 Troplong Mondot is a total stunner. As has been the case for some years now, the Grand Vin is blended before being barreled down, which means at the time of tasting en primeur, the wine has seen less wood than the vast majority of its peers. That lends this wine a certain raw energy that is impossible to miss. The purity and intensity of the flavors are simply remarkable. Troplong Mondot is one of the standouts of 2024. Even in this vintage, Troplong Mondot possesses remarkable textural presence, but that richness is matched by notable freshness and linear drive. It was deeply impressive on the two occasions I tasted it. Élevage is planned to be 55% in new oak, 26% in 20HL barrels and 19% in once-used barrels."
95-97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2024 Troplong Mondot is a beauty, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries and licorice mingled with hints of violet and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, dense and deep, it's one of the more layered and muscular wines of the vintage, a quality this terroir seems to invariably deliver, with sweet tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, expansive finish."
93-95 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
