The 1999 vintage offers a mature and nuanced profile: notes of cigar box, leather, tobacco leaf, truffle, damp earth, and cedary spice are woven with red and black fruit undercurrents.  On the palate it remains balanced, with softened yet present tannins, fresh acidity, and an elegant finish of dried fruit, cedar, and mineral echoes.  The core still carries a thread of vitality, showing that with good cellaring it continues to evolve gracefully.

Château Troplong‑Mondot is a distinguished estate in Saint‑Émilion, ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé B.  The domain dates its winemaking heritage back to the 18th century, and for much of its modern era has been steered by the Valette family, who worked with renowned consultants such as Michel Rolland and later others to refine vineyard and cellar practices.  Troplong‑Mondot’s vineyards lie on limestone and clay soils, planted predominantly to Merlot with smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.  The estate emphasizes parcel-level selection, modern vinification, and balanced oak use—its style leaning toward richness tempered by structure and terroir clarity.
