Dark-toned and brooding yet unusually refined for Trotanoy, the 2023 Chateau Trotanoy layers ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit with hints of violet, cocoa, warm earth and a touch of savory olive. The 100% Merlot palate is dense and powerful but remarkably composed, driven by vertical, grainy tannins and a long, slightly saline finish that promises superb complexity with time. This is a particularly complete and harmonious Trotanoy, built for long aging rather than early charm.

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.
