La Mondotte 2003 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Saint-Émilion appellation, crafted predominantly from Merlot, with a blend of Cabernet Franc. This wine originates from a renowned single-vineyard, situated on a clay-limestone plateau, which contributes to its character. The 2003 vintage faced high temperatures, yet the vineyard`s limestone foundation imparts a thread of mineral complexity amid the dense fruit profile. La Mondotte benefits from low yields, allowing for concentrated flavour development.
96 Robert Parker
A killer wine (I’m so sorry I didn’t buy any), the 2003 La Mondotte is clearly one of the superstars of the vintage. An intriguing perfume of licorice, Asian soy, black currant jam, ripe cherries and subtle toast emerges from this extravagantly rich, voluptuously textured, opulent, full-bodied St.-Emilion. Just coming in to full maturity, it is pure, rich and full. Drink it over the next decade or more. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Deep red. Deep aromas of currant, minerals, leather, smoked meat and sexy oak. Dense, sweet and creamy, with a deep sappy core of red and black berries and rare vibrancy for a 2003. Wonderfully rich, lively fruit coats the entire palate on the back and the chewy tannins are remarkably suave for the vintage. This virtually tastes like it's from another vintage-a testament to its cold clay and limestone soil. As I noted last year, proprietor von Neipperg told me that only the property's tiny percentage of young vines lost their leaves in the extreme heat and drought of the summer of 2003.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2006
