Chateau La Mondotte 2020 Saint Emilion

James Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:Shows the warmth of the vintage with a dark plum, boysenberry and black currant core but manages it well, with sleek, wellembedded chalky minerality providing a serious spine, while sweet tobacco, alder and loam accents peek in on the fruit throughout. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2030 through 2040. 1,500 cases made, 140 cases imported. –JM
Den Chateau La Mondotte 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt: I typically have a weakness for Canon-la-Gaffelière, with its high percentage of Cabernet Franc, in the Von Neipperg portfolio. But this year, it's the 2020 La Mondotte that takes center stage, offering up aromas of dark berries, plums, licorice, incense and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and vibrant palate of striking harmony and concentration. It's the most seamless, complete wine I've ever tasted from this brilliant clay-limestone terroir.
Den Chateau La Mondotte 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt: Blackberries, blueberries and flowers such as lavender and dark roses on the nose. Dried flowers as well. Feels medium-bodied with seamless tannins that spread across the palate. Savory and agile with a weightless feel. Hints of white pepper and salt. Makes you want to taste it. Better after 2026.
Den Chateau La Mondotte 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt: 99 Just about pure perfection, the 2020 La Mondotte comes from a tiny parcel of limestone soils on the upper plateau, not far from Troplong Mondot. Mostly Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, its deep purple hue is followed by a brilliant bouquet of crème de cassis, crushed stone, graphite, mulled black cherries, and hints of truffle. Full-bodied, incredibly elegant yet also concentrated and flawlessly balanced, it's as good as anything in the vintage. Give bottles 4-6 years in the cellar, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 2-3 decades.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau La Mondotte 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:
This is really spicy and flavorful with a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins that are polished and very long, providing this wine with super structure and tension.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau La Mondotte:The 2020 La Mondotte does not mess about, delivering a payload of ripe, opulent blackberry, cassis, India ink and figgy scents, exotic but very sensual and managing to retain impressive delineation. The balanced palate presents succulent tannins and a satiny texture. There is real depth to this La Mondotte, yet the acidity keeps it light on its toes, and there is impressive salinity toward the finish. This constitutes one of the finest La Mondotte releases in recent years. Chapeau!

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit feiner Edelholzwürze unterlegte schwarze Waldbeeraromatik, Brombeeren, reife Kirschen, zart floraler Touch, kandierte Orangenzestzen unterlegt. Saftig, frische rote Fruchtnuancen, ein Hauch von Cassis und schwarze Kirschen, frisch strukturi- ert, feine Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, wirkt erstaunlich leichtfüßig, reife Kirschenfrucht auch im Nachhall, ein delikater Speisenbegleiter.
