    The Château Troplong Mondot vineyard stretches across sunny slopes, benefiting from an ideal microclimate for vine cultivation. The soils, composed of clay and limestone, impart a distinctive minerality to the grapes. This exceptional terroir allows the grape varieties to fully flourish, giving rise to wines of great finesse and complexity. Each plot is carefully cultivated to respect the natural balance, thus promoting sustainable and responsible viticulture.

    Owner and history

    Château Troplong Mondot is currently managed by the Bouard family, who have preserved the estate's heritage while instilling a modern vision. Their commitment to sustainable and environmentally conscious viticulture is reflected in every bottle. Passionate about their terroir, they work tirelessly to bring international acclaim to this grand cru, while remaining deeply rooted in the winemaking traditions of Saint-Émilion.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process at Château Troplong Mondot is carried out with the utmost care. The hand-harvested grapes are destemmed and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, imparting a subtle touch of oak without masking the fruit. This meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the process guarantees the authentic expression of the terroir and the complexity of the wine.
