Château Trotanoy is considered one of the premier producers in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. The Moueix family acquired Château Trotanoy in 1953 and has been responsible for its management and winemaking ever since. The 1985 vintage of Château Trotanoy has developed beautifully over time and is considered a classic representation of the estate`s style.

The 1985 Trotanoy is poured en magnum. It was not a great period for this Pomerol and I find it a little musty on the nose, though it opens nicely with subtle estuarine scents that merge with the dark berry fruit. It just lacks the complexity of the La Conseillante poured alongside. The palate is fine, cohering nicely in the glass with slightly earthy red fruit and a Burgundian finish. It is actually better than expected, partly due to the format, but it does not belong in the top tier of this Pomerol château's wines. Tasted at the 1985 dinner at Noble Rot Mayfair.

Chateau Trotanoy
World Class Pomerol
One of Pomerol's leading estates, Trotanoy was purchased by the Mouiex family in the mid-1950s. Farming around eight hectares of vines around a kilometre away from Petrus, the Trotanoy plantings are 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc on clay and gravel soils. The grapes are hand-harvested before being pressed and fermented in concrete vats. Maturation takes place in oak barriques, around 75% of which are new, for 18 months before being bottled unfiltered.
The wine's bold, concentrated style is a favourite with critics and connoisseurs alike with The Wine Advocate's Robert Parker dubbing Trotanoy "one of my favourite estates".
