The 2014 vintage comes from a Bordeaux year in which a favorable fall helped ensure a successful harvest. More than a decade later, this is an interesting bottle for those who want to discover the transition from youthful fruit to more mature Bordeaux aromas.<\/p>\n<h3>The Story of the Vintage<\/h3>\n<p>After an unpredictable summer, Bordeaux enjoyed a sunny September in 2014, which was crucial for ripening. That favorable end to the season also benefited the Right Bank, where Merlot plays a leading role. For Troplong Mondot, the combination of its higher-altitude vineyards and this specific harvest pattern provides an interesting starting point.<\/p>\n<h3>Character and Background<\/h3>\n<p>Black cherry, plum, and blackberry form the fruity foundation. Notes of cocoa, spices, cedar, and earthy nuances may also emerge. The structure of ripe tannins and crisp acidity keeps the wine in balance. Over time, notes of tobacco, leather, and forest floor may develop further, depending on the conditions in which the bottle was stored.<\/p>\n<h3>Serve and Discover<\/h3>\n<p>This Right Bank wine pairs well with lamb, mushrooms, and slow-cooked dishes. Open an older bottle carefully and decant only if sediment or the wine\u2019s development calls for it. A great choice for those looking for a mature Saint-\u00c9milion that offers both richness and freshness.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover more<\/h3>\n<p>See also <a href=\"https:\/\/port2port.be\/en\/product-categorie\/wijn\/\">Our Bordeaux and Wine Collection<\/a> at Port2Port.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2014 Ch\u00e2teau Troplong Mondot laat de rijpere kant van Saint-\u00c9milion zien, met donker fruit, kruiden en een gestructureerde, Merlot-gedreven stijl.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8109,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"2014 Ch\u00e2teau Troplong Mondot \u2013 Saint-\u00c9milion","_seopress_titles_desc":"2014 Ch\u00e2teau Troplong Mondot uit Saint-\u00c9milion.
