98-100/100William Kelley

Picked between August 28 and September 25 (surely one of the broadest ranges in Bordeaux this year, but logical considering the estate's different altitudes and aspects), the 2025 Troplong Mondot is one of the wines of the vintage. Exhibiting a deep bouquet of blackberries and plums complemented by floral accents of lilac, iris and subtle spices, it's full-bodied, deep and dense, with a brooding core of fruit girdled by bright acids and sweet but abundant tannins. A blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, it will rival the 2022, though in vintage signature the two years are very different.

96-98/100 Neal Martin

The 2025 Troplong Mondot is raised in 50% new oak, 40% foudres and 10% in one-year-old barrels. It has a very intense bouquet with black cherries, cassis and iris flower scents, and a hint of inkwell. Very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, plenty of tension and minéralité. Vivacious and yet linear and correct, it delivers plenty of fruit but in a very controlled fashion. You can feel the tongue tingling on the finish. Classy and sophisticated, this will rank as one of the finest Troplong Mondots to date. Drink 2032-2055.

94-97/100 Thomas Parker MW

Troplong needs a little air and vigorous swirling to reveal its full potential - they are protecting with some CO2 in elevage which needs a few minutes to dissipate. Once opened up, there is a ripe array of red fruits and cream, subtle integrated wood spice, and a general redolent sweetness to this wine. The palate is the same, the vineyards' natural power giving supple cherry and forest fruit flavours but the early pick and careful use of wood meaning there is energy from acidity and salty spice. Velveteen in texture, with a sappy moreish quality, this is generous but not overdone, and with full elevage it should get even better. Another excellent showcase of Aymeric de Gironde's vision to tame the raw power of this estate.

97-98/100 James Suckling

A very structured wine with blackberry, hazelnut, dark chocolate, violet and some black licorice aromas. Full-bodied but in a reserved way, with super framing of the fine tannins. Elegant and structured. Fun to taste. 13.9% alcohol. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet sauvignon.

96/100 Jane Anson

Intensity and power, deep cassis and bilberry fruit, very much in character of this unusual, singular site, olive pit and wet stones, drawn out and slow crawl through the palate, rooted to its sense of place and an extremely impressive wine. Harvest August 28, earliest ever, until September 25, so almost exactly one months. 70m altitude of difference between the lowest and highest part of the Troplong vineyard. 27hl/ha yield (particularly impacted by the heat of the early August wave). 3.43 pH, Aymeric de Gironde director. 2030-2042.
