Producer Information

La Mondotte is a small Bordeaux producer in the famous appellation of Saint-Émilion. It makes a single red from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Limited production volumes and critical acclaim have propelled it to being one of the most popular and most expensive wines in the region.La Mondotte has a small 4.5-hectare (11-acre) vineyard, planted roughly 75 percent to Merlot and 25 percent to Cabernet Franc. The vines average over 50 years of age, with the oldest planted in 1939.Located a short distance to the east of the limestone plateau, the vineyard is on clay and silt with heavy deposits of limestone and rocky subsoil. This provides good drainage and encourages deep-rooted vines. The deep limestone here (as demonstrated by underground caves) is said to influence the mineral style of the wine. Planted on a slope, its exposure to the sun promotes early ripening even by Merlot standards in the region.
