Château Troplong Mondot
Perched up to 110 metres above Saint‑Émilion, Château Troplong Mondot is a Premier Grand Cru Classé whose 360° exposure lets sun and wind sculpt every parcel of the hill.
Its story reaches back to around 1700; the de Sèze family built the château in 1745, and in 1850 Raymond Troplong shaped the vineyards into a coherent estate, giving it the name we know today. A modern milestone came in 2006 with its promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé (B). The signature lies underfoot: rare Agenais clays sitting over Astéries limestone, absorbing winter water and releasing it through summer, lending Merlot density while limestone contributes lift and precision.
Harvesting and vinification are handled lot by lot to respect micro‑differences across the slopes, with a focus on living soils and careful extraction. The aim is clarity of place—Saint‑Émilion expressed as geology, altitude and time, not recipe.Château Troplong Mondot
