  • What the experts say...

    La Mondotte 1996 se distingue par sa richesse remarquable, par sa concentration extraordinaire et par ses tannins remarquablement fondus. Sa robe épaisse et pourpre laisse deviner un caractère hautement extrait. Il s'agit en effet d'un vin très concentré, qui régale le nez de ces spectaculaires senteurs de café torréfié, de réglisse, de mûre et de cassis, nuancées de chêne neuf et fumé. (...)

    The wine

    Opulent, full-bodied and pure, it has a tremendous aromatic richness. This wine has tremendous ageing potential. At the revision of the Saint Emilion classification in 2012, La Mondotte went directly from the "basic" status of Saint Emilion Grand Cru, to Premier Grand Cru Classé "B": a first in the classification's history!

    Information about domain La Mondotte

    Belonging to the same owner as Canon-la-Gaffelière and Clos de l'Oratoire, Mondotte has produced one of Bordeaux's most famous garage wines since 1996. That was when Stephan von Neipperg decided to try and extract the best from this terroir on Saint Emilion's eastern plateau, near Troplong Mondot, through reduced yields, meticulous vinification, and ageing entirely in new oak barrels. As a result, Mondotte is one of the most concentrated wines produced in Bordeaux.
