1982 Chateau Troplong-Mondot - Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé B - 1 Fles (0.75L)

History

Troplong Mondot. By the mid-19th century, it had been acquired by Raymond Troplong, who successfully exploited the estate’s fine terroir to its full potential. By this period, the chateau had already earned a superb reputation- it was with pride that Troplong added his name to the estate before selling it on. In 1936 it fell to the Valettes, whose third generation currently own and manage Troplong-Mondot- Christine Valette-Pariente and her husband Xavier. They hired Michel Rolland as consultant oenologist and reversed the slump in quality that befell the estate (and many others in Bordeaux) during the 1970s and 1980s.

No guarantee on the drinkability of this wine although it is in great condition for its age!
