Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The estate does not publish the share of each grape variety: they are listed without proportions.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
Château Troplong Mondot has created a distinctive world that extends beyond the vine and the wine.
With its sweeping view over Saint-Emilion, the estate brings together in a single place at the heart of the vineyard fine dining, accommodation and visits, an invitation to an unforgettable interlude in exceptional surroundings.
The boundaries of the vineyard are much the same as they were at its creation in 1700. Aware that they enjoy nature's finest gift, its successive owners have never ceased to enhance this heritage.
A thick limestone rock beneath the layer of heavy clay, together with the water table present in the subsoil, combine to give the old vines of Troplong Mondot (35 years of age on average, the oldest being in their nineties) the limited fertility required by great growths. This clay-limestone soil, typical of the côtes crus of Saint-Emilion, is mingled with sedimentary fragments of flint and limestone. It is perhaps to this unusual component that the wine's splendid robe and fine concentration should be attributed. The blend is 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Alcohol, yield and vine age are those of the 2025 vintage; they vary from year to year. Only the area above stays stable from one vintage to the next.
