Wine Spectator Subdued, but impressive concentration of berry, cherry and mineral character. Full-bodied, very silky, with a lovely texture and a long, inviting finish. Smoky, coffee character. A silky and sexy wine that develops into a big and powerful red. La Mondotte is a great wine. Best after 2010. 830 cases made. Score: 95. James Suckling, March 31, 2003.
Region Description
Most of the great wines of this ancient wine-growing region of Bordeaux come from Côtes-St. Émilion, where limestone and clayey soils yield succulently rich, buttery, and slightly tannic reds. The gravelly soil of Graves-St. Émilion creates powerful blackcurranty wine, and the flatter, sandier area named Sables St- Émilion produces wines that are pale red with delicious bursts of soft fruit, butter, and honey.
