94-96/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs quite a lot of shaking to wake up scents of juicy blackberries, raspberry coulis, and boysenberries, giving way to hints of cedar, sassafras, Sichuan pepper, and tar. The light to medium-bodied palate is lively and lightly chewy with bright red and blackberry layers and a lifted, savory laced finish.

The 2024 La Mondotte was picked from September 23 to October 5 at 40 hl/ha and aged in 30% new oak. This has the best aromatics amongst the cuvées in the Van Neipperg stable, with redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, rose petal and light incense aromas. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a bit more weight on the mid-palate than the preceding Canon-la-Gaffelière, just a bit of piquancy and a tender raspberry finish. Enjoy over 12 to 15 years.

With a gentle oaky, spicy profile, the 2024 La Mondotte reveals aromas of dark berries, pepper and licorice mingled with mulberry notes. Medium-bodied, chewy and structured, it's layered with elegant tannins and a lively mid-palate that segues into an oaky, firm finish.
