2022 Château Trotanoy

Floral and tensioned with precision that gives it incredible brightness. It’s dreamy and energetic with purity and serenity. Full-bodied yet structured and polished. Dynamic young wine. Merlot and cabernet franc blend. (2023)

S moked earth, leather, graphite, and tobacco, as well as a massive amount of ripe red and black fruits, emerge from the 2022 Château Trotanoy, a rich, structured, powerful Pomerol with a stacked mid-palate, building tannins, and a great, great finish. It's one of the few Pomerols that has the capacity to match what they achieved in 2018 and 2020. (05/2023)

A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Trotanoy is deep garnet-purple in color. It is typically broody to start off with reluctant notions of tar, chargrill, and wild sage eventually giving way to a powerful core of plum preserves, black currant cordial, and blueberry pie, plus hints of rusty nails, cracked black pepper, fertile loam, and smoked meats. The full-bodied palate is so very taut and muscular, you could bounce a dime off it, delivering tightly wound layers of black fruits, earth, and mineral nuances, contained within a rock-solid frame of super-ripe, rounded tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. This is one for the lang-haul! (05/2023)
