The 2008 Château Trotanoy is a pure expression of Merlot, sourced from the estate’s distinctive vineyard in Pomerol. Known for its deep, gravelly clay soils, Trotanoy produces wines with a powerful yet refined structure. The 2008 vintage showcases ripe black fruit aromas, particularly black cherry and plum, with hints of earthy complexity and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a long, concentrated finish. This wine exemplifies the signature depth and aging potential of Trotanoy, and the 2008 vintage offers a great balance of power and finesse.

A J P Moueix wine.Deep healthy crimson. Very rich and dense. A broad panoply of aromas. Really interesting aromatically, and wonderfully balanced and neat. Tea leaves fragrance plus great richness AND polish. A lovely package. This suggests it may drink well throughout its life, so hedonistic is the fruit. Long and neat. (JR)

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".
