酒莊位於聖愛美倫地區的東部高地，毗鄰Troplong-Mondot莊園。佔地4.5公頃，猶如一個藏寶箱，其獨特的土壤環境具有一切有利於生產佳釀的自然條件。
酒莊的土質為黏土石灰岩，淤泥質黏土覆蓋在岩石之上。出色的水利調節系統有利於葡萄植株的根系向土層深處生長。由於坡地明顯的傾斜度，令土壤能夠自然排水，再加上充足的日照，使得這塊土地上的葡萄園具有良好的早熟性。
在名貴的葡萄品種中，有些葡萄藤年份悠久——平均株齡為50年，其中Merlot 葡萄約佔75%，剩餘的25%為 Cabernet Franc。每一年的葡萄，尤其是 Merlot，能夠在極為有利的條件下成熟。
合宜的土壤環境、年份悠久的葡萄藤、先進的種植和生產理念，以及基礎設施……所有的這一切促成了佳釀的誕生。
葡萄酒的口感豐腴，色澤鮮明，結構豐實，土壤賦予其一種無與倫比的細膩。這是稀有的葡萄酒，年產量最高僅有11,000瓶，一直為人們所嚮往。

又一次出色的成果，來自位於Pavie和Pavie Decesse上方粘土和石灰岩高原上，有45年歷史的葡萄園。混合了75% Merlot及25% Cabernet Franc，每公頃產量為3,000升。一款結構經典的St.-Emilion，呈現出不透光的紫色，並帶有黑覆盆子、黑加侖子酒、藍莓、濃縮咖啡和鋼筆墨水的華麗香氣。強大的單寧、飽滿的酒體以及廣闊的豐富度和深度表明，經過4-5年的窖藏將受益匪淺，適合飲用 20-25 年。
2013
(Robert Parker's rating: 92-94 points)
2013年份由85% Merlot和15% Cabernet Franc混合而成，呈深紫色。帶有黑櫻桃利口酒、桑葚、甘草、石墨和春花的美妙香氣。這款酒令人驚訝地飽滿、圓潤、單寧甜美、多汁、質感豐富、餘韻令人驚嘆。即使在好年份中，這也是一種超越，但在 2013 年，這樣的努力尤其令人印象深刻。適合在接下來的10-15年內飲用。
La Mondotte is located on the eastern part of the Saint-Emilion plateau next to Troplong-Mondot. This 4.5 hectare vineyard is an absolute gem. Its outstanding terroir (clay limestone soil with very silty clay and a rocky subsoil) has all the natural qualities to produce very great wine.Excellent hydric regulation encourages the vines to sink their roots deep into the soil. The superb sun exposure and fine natural drainage due to the steep slope make this a very early-maturing terroir. The vines are an average of 50 years old and the vineyard contains only premium grape varieties (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc). Ripening, especially of Merlot, is almost invariably early and complete.
The terroir, age of the vines, and infinite attention paid to viticulture and oenology, combine to produce truly great wine at La Mondotte.
La Mondotte is deeply-coloured, well-structured, and extraordinarily opulent. The terroir also confers unparalleled finesse. This rare wine (maximum annual production of just 11,000 bottles) is always in very great demand.

Another brilliant effort from a small, 45-year-old vineyard on the clay and limestone plateau above Pavie and Pavie Decesse , this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc was cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare. A classically structured St.-Emilion, it boasts an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of black raspberries, creme de cassis, blueberries, espresso roast, and pen ink. Huge tannin, massive body, and tremendous richness as well as depth suggest it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 20-25.
2013
(Robert Parker's rating: 92-94 points)
A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2013 is deep purple with a gorgeous nose of black cherry liqueur, mulberries, licorice, graphite and spring flowers. The wine is surprisingly full-bodied, round, with sweet tannin, real succulence, lush texture and a stunning finish. This is a major over-achiever in even great vintages, but in 2013 an effort like this is especially impressive. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
