Château Troplong Mondot Saint-Émilion 2012

From the prestigious Château Troplong Mondot in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, the 2012 vintage is a refined red from the Right Bank’s renowned appellation. Crafted from 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc, sourced from 33 hectares of clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel vats. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels (70% new), it reflects the challenging yet successful 2012 vintage with a deep ruby hue and elegant complexity.

Winemaking Process

Troplong Mondot’s meticulous approach shines in this wine. The 2012 vintage, from 30-year-old vines, undergoes parcel-by-parcel vinification with gentle extraction to preserve fruit richness. Aging in 70% new French oak for 18 months enhances its structure, creating a plush yet balanced wine with excellent aging potential, showcasing Saint-Émilion’s signature opulence.
