The Story

Château Trotanoy, a famous growth whose soil was too hard to work (« trop anoi » in medieval French) is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region on one of the most beautiful parts of Pomerol. As all wine produced in this appellation, Château Trotanoy is unclassified, but the estate is estimated among the great growths of the region. It was purchased in 1953 by the Ets Jean-Pierre Moueix. Château Trotanoy’s vineyard was one of the ...

Vintage 2015

Full report of Bordeaux 2015 by Andrew Caillard MW “Next in line in a great series of vintages; 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015.

 

2015 is a wonderful Bordeaux vintage without the hype or hysteria associated with 2009 and 2010. The wines are generally expressive and generous with wonderful concentration and structure. Given another year in barrel, the wines should gain more complexity and fruit volume. Châteaux, in all sub-regions, are e...

Written Notes

Tasted in October 2018.  Fat wine with thick texture, gobs of fruit and tannin, clear scent of terroir (crasse de fer - iron dirt), outstanding balance, richness and great length. Great, great vintage for the property. 

  • 97p
Concentrated dark berries, plum and liquorice with hint of sweetness. Very intense, powerful and big wine with plenty of tannin. It was a big contrast to taste after La Fleur-Petrus in totally two styles. I personally prefer La Fleur-Petrus than Trotanoy. 92-93
  • 93p
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Initially quite closed, opens up well displaying fine toasting aroma, hints of oak, brioche, vanilla and gingerbread. On the palate well structured with elegant and ripe tannins, sweet fruit and distinct spicy aftertaste. A great wine with complexity and length.
  • 97p
Medium deep colour. Blackberry pastille, graphite aromas with savoury oak complexity.  Sweet plum, inky blackberry flavours with liquorice notes, fine plentiful chalky slightly sappy tannins and marked acidity. Juicy firm wine with density and length. Elemental and vigorous. 95 points 
  • 95p
Ruby. Dark fruits, red berries, floral, some anise notes, detailed, nuanced, quite seductive, ripe, layered nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, fruity, dark berries, some spices, delicate freshness even if fairly full bodied, nuanced, layered and long. 96-98
