Trotanoy 2009 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix (and run by Christian Moueix), Trotanoy is one of Pomerol`s leading estates and owns around eight hectares of vines around 1km away from Petrus. The plantings are 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc on clay and gravel soils. This bottle is from the legendary 2009 Right Bank Bordeaux vintage. "An absolutely prodigious wine, the dense purple 2009 Trotanoy exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins, fabulous opulence and palate presence, this terrific wine should be at its best in 7-10 years and last for 20 or more. Think of it as a more concentrated, `bigger` version of the extraordinary 1998." Robert Parker, 2012

The 2009 Trotanoy is deep garnet in color. It gallops out with powerful scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and candied violets, leading to nuances of mocha, licorice, and tapenade, plus a waft of smoked meats. Full-bodied, rich, and impressively dense, the generous black fruit and savory layers are supported by firm, yet velvety, tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epically long, lingering, earthy notes.

96 Vinous
The 2009 Trotanoy has a broody and what feels like Cabernet-driven bouquet, well defined with touches of cigar box and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, taut red berry fruit laced with sage, white pepper, hints of fennel and a refreshingly saline finish. This is very promising although, it does not quite possess the persistence of its peers. Sultry, almost saturnine...I guess this is Trotanoy? Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Tension and poise, exactly as you hope to find in a 15 year old Trotanoy. Incense, smoke, exotic and perfumed, undergrowth, old books, tar, peonies, the beginning of tertiary character. Unusually for a Trotanoy of this age, I would say this is a good time to drink, and in its drinking window. 50% new oak for ageing.Jane Anson10th October 2024

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".
