Originally called Château Mondot, it belonged to Romain Desèze, defender of King Louis XVI. It was later owned by Raymond Troplong, a lawyer and politician, who acquired it in 1850 and gave it its definitive name. The Troplong-Mondot success story is indisputably linked to the Valette family, Bordeaux wine merchants who bought the estate in the 1920s. From the 1980s onwards, Christine Valette-Pariente and her husband Xavier Paliente guided the estate towards excellence, placing it in the pantheon of great wines. The estate has belonged to the SCOR Group since 2017, with Aymeric de Gironde taking the reins as Managing Director, keen to place Troplong-Mondot among the finest wines on the international wine scene.
