From the luxury, 12-acre boutique outpost of the Neipperg family, the 2012 La Mondotte (generally 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc) has an inky/purple color, sweet mulberry, black cherry and cassis note, stunning purity and full-bodied texture. The wine’s opulence and voluptuous character compare to its greatest vintages, such as 1998, 2000, 2005, 2009 and 2010. Its great terroir (clay and limestone soils) shines through with a stunning effort in the vintage. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Very intense nose showing orange peel, blackberries as well as ink and vanilla notes. Full-bodied red with chewy tannins, lovely acidity and a long, long finish. Complex and structured. Drink after 2019.

Wine Spectator

This pulls no punches, with loads of mint-kissed plum sauce, blackberry confiture and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors that cascade over one another, pumping though the polished, anise-framed finish. A gloriously pure expression of fruit, harnessed by a lovely, subtle chalky thread through the finish. Best from 2017 through 2030. 667 cases made.

Impressive wine. Plenty of depth and concentration. Round and full on the palate with a minerally-saline edge. Polished tannins. Long finish.

The 2012 La Mondotte has a fresh and more vigorous bouquet than its peers with cough candy-tinged red fruit, marmalade, brown spices and leather. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good structure, quite solid in the mouth with grip on the finish. Maybe just a little austere on the finish, though this is drinking well at the moment. Fine.
