So as to understand Troplong Mondot one needs to leave behind categories and descriptions. Appreciating an atmosphere or a setting and nourishing oneself from it, both literally and metaphorically, means finding one's place in a world that one takes with oneself. A world like no other. The power of the 'terroir' tempered by the glistening fruit. The aromatic richness enhanced with elegant precision. The perfect balance of elements that respond to one another. The revelation of a unique universe that opens itself up over time. A feeling of fullness.
