Description

Deep dark red dress with purple hues. The olfactory palette is dazzling with purity and fragrance, evolving constantly on the notes of ripe fruits, cherry, cassis cream and spices. All the richness of Merlot expresses itself beautifully in palate, on the palate very concentrated in flavors, offering tannins in superb density. In the 17th century, the vineyard belonged to the Abbot Raymond de Sèze, who built the chateau. The Sèze family was one of the most prestigious of the Bordeaux area's landed gentry. It was particularly illustrious in providing Louis XVI with his personal lawyer. In 1850, Raymond Troplong took over Mondot and turned it into the 33-hectares estate. Edouard Troplong, his nephew and successor, added the name Troplong to the estate before he sold it. Alexandre Valette, a Parisian vintner, bought the estate. In 1980 Alexandre’s great grand daughter, Christine, took over the estate and was joined, 10 years later, by her husband, Xavier Pariente. Together they continued to improve and embellish the vineyard, cellar and chateau.
