"An impressing interpretation of the chalky terroir with minerality, tension and persistence"

"A refined and firm-tannined red with violets, tangerines and blue fruit. Medium-bodied, tight and compact palate with everything in place. Elegance with structure."

"A brilliant wine in the making, I'd put the 2021 La Mondotte up with the crème de la crème from the Right Bank. Offering up terrific cassis, blueberry, and darker cherry fruits, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, terrific balance, and subtle floral and chalky mineral-like nuances. It brings way more density, depth, and texture than just about every other wine out there. Bravo."

94-96/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Flowers, black raspberries, broken stones, smoke, cherries and mint create the nose. On the palate, the wine is elegant, soft, refined, chalky, energetic, fresh and intense with layers of crisp, sweet, vibrant red pit fruits and a strong touch of salt on the backend. The wine blends 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc, 13% ABV. The harvest took place September 30 - October 10. Drink from 2026-2050"

94-95/100 Alexandre Ma
"Mr. Von Neipperg defines the 2021 vintage as the "contemporary classicism", a feature particularly expressed in La Mondotte. The outstanding ripeness gives La Mondotte its iconic aromas, with a mixture of jujube, waxberry, red plum, nutmeg, and star anise, even a hint of a peculiar freshness during the Chinese tea-making process. The palate is clean and delicate, supported by silky tannins and a mild saltiness. In my opinion, this wine not only exhibits how beautifully a limestone plateau can deliver in cool vintages but demonstrates the ancient Chinese philosophy, “the greatest virtue like pure water”."

93-95/100 Vinous - Antonio Galloni
"The 2021 La Mondotte is marked by strong calcaire accents and a bit of oak tannin that has not yet fully integrated, as the colder cellar here (vis-a-vis Canon-La Gaffelière) results in wines in barrel that evolve at a slow pace. Like all of the Neipperg wines, La Mondotte shows terrific energy and drive. A burst of dark cherry fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice builds into the deep, resonant finish. There's a ton of character here. The purity of the flavors is striking. I am so looking forward to tasting the 2021 in bottle."

94/100 Decanter
"Lovely ripe raspberry and strawberry flavours with pink floral scents, really appealing aromatics jumping out the glass. Smooth and so vibrant, such vivacity, the brightness coming through strongly with such a brilliantly textured mid palate - it's silky but with concentration and intensity yet also an aerial feel to this. You got the depth and density without the weight. Crunchy, crisp, totally joyous. No hiding here, a pure expression. Not heavily structured but I love the energy, so fruity but also with a salinity on the finish that peaks the interest. One I definitely wanted another glass of. Gorgeous presentation of the terroir and the overall purity on show is commendable. No mildew or frost in 2021. A yield of 45hl/ha. Certified organic. Drinking Window 2025 - 2049"
