Château Troplong Mondot 2005 is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard sits on deep limestone deposits covered by thick layers of clay and flint, which provided crucial water reserves during the dry, hot 2005 growing season. This wine was fermented in stainless steel and aged in 100% new French oak, reflecting the powerful, modern style of the Valette-Parienté era. The larger format of the magnum has allowed the wine to evolve at a slower pace, preserving the vibrancy of its dark berry fruit. It is a full-bodied, robust wine with flavours of blackberry, espresso and crushed stones, defined by a massive tannic structure and a long, warming finish.

The 2005 Troplong Mondot is deep garnet, with a touch of brick, in color. It storms out of the glass with powerful notes of plum pudding, black cherry preserves, and blueberry pie, giving way to hints of mint tea, unsmoked cigars, and star anise, with a touch of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is dense and muscular, with loads of savory layers and a very firm, grainy texture, finishing with a refreshing mineral burst. It could use a few more years in bottle.Lisa Perrotti-Brown15th February 2024
97 Vinous
The 2005 Troplong Mondot is a heady, sumptuous beauty. Sweet black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol all open in the glass. Hedonistic and opulent to the core, the 2005 is a decidedly exuberant Saint-Émilion. I would open it a few hours in advance, as aeration helps soften some of the initial flamboyance. The 2005 is a gorgeous, captivating wine. It is modern Saint-Émilion at its finest. Moreover, it does not appear to have lost much, if anything, since the last time I tasted it a few years ago!Antonio Galloni1st April 2021

Still young, just about bricking around the edges and starting to give up its secrets - bright ruby red, softening around the rim to show gentle tawny. Waves of fresh acidity with generous brambled fruit that melts into the tannins, this shows dried herbs, truffles, incense, layered, black chocolate, espresso, tar and campfire. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant. Served out of magnum (last tasted out of bottle in 2022).Jane Anson12th June 2025
