#92 James Suckling Top 100 Wines of the World 2025

Blend: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc

Aromas of raspberries, a subtle hint of mint, rose petals and a subtle hint of crushed vitamin pills introduce the 2022 Mondot, a full-bodied, ample and layered wine that's pure, succulent and suave, with sweet tannins, juicy acids and a long, expansive finish. As readers may remember, the 2022 is a somewhat different beast from previous renditions, as it now incorporates some newly acquired holdings, spanning a wider variety of expositions and altitudes, and includes Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in addition to Merlot. - 100pts Robert Parker
