Château Trotanoy 2018
This illustrious vineyard, whose name in Old French meant "too anoi" or "too boring" (when working the land), is located on one of the best exposed parts of the famous Pomerol plateau and was acquired in 1953 by the Jean-Pierre Moueix Establishments, which has been operating it ever since.
The mix of soils - half gravelly soil resting on clay and half deep black clay - on a bed of iron dross gives the wine both power and depth as well as great complexity.
Château Trotanoy is one of the most sought-after wines of the appellation and can be kept for several decades in great vintages.

My best mark given to this vintage in primeur. What a deep color! Intense nose, fine, fruity, creamy and truffled. Ultra meticulous from its entry in mouth, very aromatic, fat and complex, this very refined wine evolves deep, noble, smooth, with taste and a very, very long finish. Incredible character and very sophisticated. I only tasted it once, but it was extraordinary.
