Having been acquired by J-P Moueix in 1953, Château Trotanoy is widely regarded as one of the finest estates in Pomerol and is renowned for its exuberant, sensuous and long-lived wines. The 1995 is a superb wine that is absolutely perfect for drinking now though also perhaps has another 5-10 years in it.

Certainly the best Trotanoy between 1998 and 1982, the 1995 has a deep saturated ruby color that is dark to the rim. Relatively shut down when tasted in 2002 on several occasions, the wine, with coaxing, does offer some notes of earth, raspberry, black cherries, and a hint of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, powerful, and backward, it is an impressively constituted Trotanoy that is relatively large-scaled but the huge level of tannin also means it might be a modern-day version of the 1970. Time will tell. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025. Last tasted, 2/02.Robert Parker1st January 2003

The 1995 Trotanoy demonstrates that the replanted vines were beginning to reach maturity, offering a graphite-tinged bouquet and a succinctly defined palate with a soupçon of rusticity toward the finish. It's not quite as powerful or ambitious as the 1998. Nevertheless, the 1995 could be seen retrospectively as a step in the right direction. Taken from the Pomerol book.Neal Martin25th March 2025

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".
