Troplong Mondot other_regionsThe 2019 Troplong Mondot is a blend this year of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 10th to the 25th of September. The pH is 3. 55pretty incredible when you consider the alcohol is nearly 15%! I hasten to add that from tasting, I would have guessed this was 14. 3% to 14. 5% alcohol. It is the kind of wine with so much energy it practically does pirouettes on your palate. Opaque purple black colored, the nose

ultra-fine tannin and a lively

brooding aromas of black and blue fruits

deep and concentrated

the Cariad has quite a bit more Franc than is typically the case

The wine was made from a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot
