La Mondotte
Perched on the limestone plateau by St.Emilion, La Mondotte is a tiny 4.5‑hectare jewel guided by the von Neipperg family, where silty clay over rock regulates water and forces deep rooting. Merlot and Cabernet Franc ripen with density, yet keep a cool, mineral line that feels carved rather than pushed.
Certified organic since 2014, the work is meticulous: canopy management, low yields, hand harvesting in passes and parcel-by-parcel decisions. In the cellar, precision continues—controlled fermentations, gentle extraction and élevage in new French oak to knit structure and polish tannins without drowning the terroir’s clarity.
Elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé in 2012, the estate embodies a modern Saint‑Émilion ideal: concentrated but never heavy, textured, vibrant, and defined by the quiet authority of its hillside limestone.La Mondotte
