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 ...

Wine Information

A Snap-shot of the 2014 Vintage by Markus Del Monego MW

2014 had an early start with budbreak around 10 days ahead of the 10 years average. End of May flowering started on the early terroirs in heterogeneous conditions, whereas the later varieties such as Cabernet-Sauvignon and Franc as well as later terroirs took advantage of a warm and sunny period beginning of June. July and August where quite cool and humid and in the second half of Aug...

Vintage 2014

Bordeaux Vintage 2014 - is not a great vintage like 2005, 2009 or 2010 but it will be able to secure a position as one of the very good vintages of Bordeaux.

Generally scheduled between the end of March and the beginning of April, Primeur Week in Bordeaux is always an exciting time because it allows a first glimpse of the latest vintage. The sheer number of wines available for tasting is impressive and a week almost seems short. This is why...

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red, and looking clear and medium. On the nose it is open and fresh. The taste is fruity, fresh,voluptuous, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has toasty, blueberry, cassis, earthy, mineral and mushrooms flavours. The finish is long and spicy. This wine is excellent. I paid around 100-200€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 45min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.

Tasted in March 2020. Not the perfect showing right now and looked like that this bottle suffered very slightly from oxidation. A bit edgy, tannic, concentrated with firm acidity. Needs time to soften. Young Trotanoy who have closed its doors for several years. Purchased together with 2015, 2012, 2010 and 2009 from same Danish wine merchant who gets Trotanoy directly from Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix. Stand A.

Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black centre. Elegant nose with initially closed character, opens up with some oxygen, displaying rich berry fruit flavour and hints of minerality. Oak well integared. On the palate well structured and balanced with fine tannins, excellent length. 94
