Chateau Troplong Mondot 在Saint Emilion區擁有33公頃土地，是該區的大型酒莊之一(其他同區酒莊只有約10公頃)。位於Saint Emilion的山丘頂，週圍的環境特別突出，微微向西南的斜坡，眺望Saint Emilion區的各個村莊，而正南方的山丘則伸延至Chateau Pavie。
葡萄園依從傳統，種植該區最優質的品種。Merlot是Saint Emilion區的當然之選，為葡萄酒提供結構(即酒體和靈活度)，Cabernet Franc則提供精緻度和優雅度，Cabernet Sauvignon則給予性格和陳年潛力。

2017年份(RP:95)
深石榴紫色，2017年Troplong Mondot前段緊緻，中段展現出越來越多的黑莓、野生藍莓和甘草的味道以及淡淡的煙燻肉、黑橄欖、杉木香和松露的味道。酒體中等至豐滿，口感濃郁，充滿黑色水果的口感，並爆發出濃郁的土地感火花，成熟而圓潤的單寧質感柔和。驚人的新鮮度和層次多重的收結。
Chateau Troplong Mondot with its 33 ha is considered to be a large estate as the majority of properties in this area are usually no bigger than 10 ha.
It sits on the top of a hill (106 meters) and dominates the surrounding countryside; the gentle south west slope overlooking the village of Saint-Émilion and the sharp south facing hill which extends to Chateau Pavie.
The vineyard is planted traditionally with the best varietals of this area of Bordeaux. Merlot is the royal varietal of this region and the most widely planted which gives the powerful structure to our wines, in other words, its body and flexibility, whereas Cabernet Franc gives it delicacy and elegance and Cabernet Sauvignon its personality and long life.

Tasting Notes:
Vintage 2017(RP:95)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Troplong Mondot is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to reveal expanding notions of warm blackberries, wild blueberries and liquorice plus hints of smoked meats, black olives, pencil shavings and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed mouth-coating black fruits, exploding into loads of earthy sparks with a soft, velvety texture from ripe, rounded tannins. It finishes with spectacular freshness and loads of layers.
