Around a Bottle with Christine Valette & Xavier Pariente | Gilles Berdin

Author: Gilles Berdin Tasting of a Château Troplong-Mondot 1990: "Beautiful robe in the process of evolution. Nose still fresh that blossoms with notes of truffles, mushrooms, sous-bois. Enbouche, the attack is supple and develops on coated and melted tannins." Christine Valette-Pariente has always been convinced that her destiny would be played out at Troplong-Mondot, the family property whose vineyard was withering away. At 24, she not only set out to revive the vines but also to elevate Troplong-Mondot to the ranks of the greatest. For many years, her husband, Xavier Pariente, has joined her to help with this lifelong task. ED: Elytis (03/2010), 19x10 cm, 128 pages, paperback
