Ch Troplong Mondot 2017 St-Émilion
17 +
85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc. Yield 45 hl/ha. 95% used for the grand vin.
Lacking the density of 2015/16, fragrance, freshness and early-drinking appeal are the key factors. Dark redcurrant and cherry, fine oak integration, a very elegant wine which speaks more about the vintage and terroir than winemaking. A new direction for Troplong-Mondot? (AWH)
