Chateau Troplong Mondot 2012 - Case of 12 Bottles (75cl)The 2012 is another truly great wine from Troplong Mondot. Its always sentimental to taste this wine, realizing that proprietress Christine Valette (the larger than life heart and soul behind this estate) has passed away. She was one of the bright, shining stars of Bordeaux. Nevertheless, her legacy is certainly well established, and the quality of this wine is beyond reproach. Inky bluish purple, its great notes of cassis, blackberry, licorice are

56 grams per liter of acidity

this is by far the best Cheval Blanc since 1990 and before 2009

Ideal as an aperitif on its own or used as a great base for “Kir Royal”

The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannin thanks to the keen line of acidity

The wine has a sumptuous mouth-filling density on the palate but never descends too far towards a vulgar weight

from the unique Armand de Brignac dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 87%

A relatively elegant and appealingly complex nose combines notes of earth

baker's chocolate

easily the finest from Alfred Tesseron and winemaker Jean-Michel Comme in recent years

Drink Date 2024 - 2050

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon
