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 Merlot-dominant wine is known for its decadent, rich style, and has been consistently awarded high ratings by the critics. Overall, the 2006 vintage in Pomerol is considered to be very good. The wines are characterized by their ripe fruit flavours, good acidity, and balanced structure.

Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Knockout nose melds dark cherry, minerals, coffee, iron, smoked meat and menthol. Wonderfully concentrated and primary, with a silky texture and captivating inner-mouth perfume to the cherry and mineral flavors. An impeccably balanced wine with impressive vinosity and energy. Finishes with sweet tannins and excellent length. This really transcends the vintage.

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".
