La Mondotte(2001)
Excellent hydric regulation encourages the vines to sink their roots deep into the soil. The superb sun exposure and fine natural drainage due to the steep slope make this a very early-maturing terroir.
The vines are an average of 50 years old and the vineyard contains only premium grape varieties (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc). Ripening, especially of Merlot, is almost invariably early and complete.
The terroir, age of the vines, and infinite attention paid to viticulture and oenology, combine to produce truly great wine at La Mondotte.

- Intense. Definitely elegant. Dry end, but very confident. After Bellevue-Mondotte, it seems very fine; tannins are there in substantial measure. Rather gentle and civilised. Lively, fresh. Satin.
