Tasting notes
The 2006 Troplong Mondot displays a magnificent, deep ruby colour. A nose of red berry fruit with hints of toast followed by fruit kernels, almonds and finally a touch of menthol and liquorice that is characteristic of the terroir. Fruit, freshness and oak make up a harmonious balance on the nose. On the palate, there is red berry fruit again and lovely freshness, good structure and vigour, cherries and kirsch. A long, full wine: a great, classic vintage for Troplong Mondot.
Vintage
2006 was a very hot year after a long, cold winter. The balanced weather conditions from April to September enabled the growing season to go smoothly. Hot weather during July helped the changing of colour in the grapes. August was cooler. September was mixed: a heat wave during the first half of the month and rain during the second half which had no adverse effects however on the perfect health of the grapes or their ripening. The picking took place from the 21st to the 30th September 2006, which for the terroir of Troplong Mondot represents an early harvest, the sign of a great year.
