The 2007 harvest on this cold plateau east of St. Emilion took place very late, from October 9 through 19, and cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Taleyson told me that 30% of the crop was eliminated in the vines. In fact, he noted, the harvesting team actually made five passes through the vines to pick with the greatest possible precision. A 15% saignee was done to concentrate the must, compared to 20% in 2006.

Cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Taleyson told me that 2006 "just lacked a little ripeness of the grape skins and seeds," and thus the team kept the fermentation temperatures a bit lower; only one cuve received a pre-fermentation cold soak. Taleyson believes the wine has "vivacity and elegance" but there's still a full 14% alcohol here. The 2006 looks to be a worthwhile successor to the otherworldly 2005 made here, which is the best wine I've ever tasted from this estate.

This is the most spectacular young vintage of Troplong-Mondot I've tasted to date. Cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Taleyson, who started working here in 1985, calls it the best in 30 years. The indice de polyphenols totaux is a lofty 85, which Taleyson says is due to "the great material and to the tiny cluster size of the merlot in 2005-half as big as usual." The alcohol of this monster is close to 15% but the impression is of vibrant, explosive fruit. "When [consulting winemaker] Michel Rolland tasted this wine, he said it didn't need anything," Taleyson summarized. Some early tasters have compared the young 2005 to the 1990 Troplong-Mondot, but the new vintage has brighter acidity and a lower pH.
