From the first glance this 2018 Chateau Trotanoy feels monumental yet beautifully composed, layering dense black plum, blueberry and cassis with violet, cocoa, tobacco leaf and a deep vein of warm spice. The palate is plush and powerful but never heavy, driven by sweet, perfectly ripened fruit and wrapped in ultra-fine, authoritative tannins that promise decades of graceful evolution. A great modern Trotanoy that combines the opulence of the vintage with remarkable structure and detail.

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.
