Château Trotanoy 2009 is a red wine from Pomerol in Bordeaux. This magnum comes from a vineyard situated on the highest part of the Pomerol plateau where the soil consists of black clay over a bed of iron-rich gravel. A bouquet of black cherries, damp earth, truffle and iron ore emerges from the glass, while remarkably ripe and velvety tannins provide a plush framework for the opulent fruit. The density and structural weight of the wine are direct consequences of this specific plateau terroir.

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.

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".
