Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé B
This chateau has been
in hands of Christine Valette and her husband Xavier Pariente for a long time. After
struggling with cancer for a long time, Christine died in 2014 at the very
young age of 57. It was Christine and her husband who raised this cru to the
ranking of Premier Grand Cru Classé in 2006 thanks to a spectacular progress in
quality of these wines the last 10 years. The terroir of Ch. Troplong Mondot is
located on the highest top of Côte Pavie in Saint Laurent de Combes where the
greatest St. Emilion wines are made. Ch. Troplong Mondot is a very deep,
delicate but sensual and full wine that can be kept very long. In the summer of
2017, this property was bought by the insurance company Scor for a ridiculously
high price per hectare (estimated more than 5 million euros/ha). It is now
director Aymeric de Gironde (ex Ch. Cos d’Estournel) that has the leadership.
