Tasting Notes: Such a sense of the limestone terroir on the nose and palate here with wet stone and graphite nuances edged with perfumed red cherries. Super smooth with a grippy but gentle texture. Well integrated tannins are lifted by the serious succulence on the mid palate, this is juicy and bright but also layered with strawberry, red cherry and blueberry fruit. Playful but also well controlled and well presented. The finish is lasting and impactful. A perky wine that is stylish and so moreish.

Tasting Notes: 92-94. Barrel Sample. This perfumed, elegant wine is ripe with tannins and succulent black fruits. It is already possible to discern its future as a proper second wine, bringing out great fruits as well as generous structure. It's for long-term aging.

Tasting Notes: The 2019 Mondot, 100% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple in color. Cherry compote, wild blueberries, and boysenberries scents emerge easily from the glass with touches of licorice, rose oil, and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and juicy, with just enough freshness and a spicy lift on the finish.

Tasting Notes: The second wine of the estate and all Merlot, the 2019 Mondot By Mondot has a juicy, earthy black cherry, spring flowers, pen ink, and graphite-driven bouquet that carries to a medium-bodied red that builds nicely with time in the glass, offering ripe tannins, plenty of richness, and outstanding length. It will keep for 10-12 years, easily.

Tasting Notes: The 2019 Mondot derives from Merlot growing on newly acquired vineyards on Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau that can't be included in the grand vin until the region's new classification is finalized. Offering up aromas of wild berries, rose petals and coniferous forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and succulent, with a supple, charming profile and a penetrating finish.
