Dark, resonant fruit and a deep floral perfume set the tone in 2014 Château Trotanoy, a Pomerol that combines muscle with remarkable refinement. Black cherry, blackberry and strawberry layer over warm earth, cedar and a touch of truffle, all carried on a long, focused palate where fine yet firm tannins promise a long, graceful evolution. This vintage feels both hedonistic and serious, already seductive but clearly built for the long haul.
Dry-aged ribeye with wild mushrooms; roast duck with cherry glaze; braised beef cheeks in red wine sauce
Château Trotanoy is a profound, Merlot-dominant Pomerol from the Moueix family, drawn from a tiny 7.2-hectare vineyard of dense clay-and-gravel soils over iron-rich “crasse de fer” that are famously hard to work but give the wine its power and depth. Typically displaying deep color, velvety yet massive structure, and complex layers of dark fruits, chocolate, truffle, and tobacco, it is considered one of Pomerol’s top crus and is renowned for its remarkable longevity and intensity.
