Vinous
The 1993 Trotanoy, poured from magnum, has a simple but effective nose with blackberry, raspberry and shavings of black truffles. There is a very slight ash-like scent with aeration. There's fine delineation, and it's fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with a mixture of red and black fruit laced with freshly-rolled tobacco, though you cannot avoid the fact that this Pomerol is a bit obdurate and austere on the finish. Drink over the next decade. Tasted at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux.Neal Martin1st August 2023

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".
