From a challenging Bordeaux year, this 2017 Château Trotanoy turns out deeply seductive rather than heavy, layering violets, ripe plum and blackberry fruit over moist earth, cedar and a subtle whiff of truffle. The palate is concentrated yet taut and precise, with pure, sweet dark-berry and red-plum flavors framed by firm, fine tannins and vibrant freshness, giving the wine a long, resonant finish that promises decades of graceful evolution. It’s a Pomerol that feels both powerful and finely chiseled, a standout success for the vintage.

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.
