Ripe black cherries and plums roll in first on the 2016 Mondot de Chateau Troplong Mondot, followed by a gentle layer of vanilla, cocoa and a touch of smoky spice. The palate feels generous and modern in style—full of dark fruit and chocolatey richness—yet a chalky, slightly firm tannic grip keeps it structured and dry on the finish. It’s a flavorful, approachable second wine that still carries a serious St-Émilion backbone, especially in this strong vintage.
Grilled lamb chops; Roast duck with cherry glaze; Mushroom and truffle risotto
