Wine Enthusiast, June 2007

Owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix (and run by Christian Moueix) this 19-acre property is on the highest part of the Pomerol plateau. This is a powerful wine dense with black fruits dusty dry tannins tempered with fresh acidity...
WS 92

Wine Spectator, March 2007

Aromas of crushed fruit and flowers with hints of vanilla. Full-bodied with a solid core of ripe fruit ultrafine tannins and light toasty oak. Best after 2012. 2000 cases made. -JS

Pomerol’s famous Trotanoy, whose soil was too hard to work and thus called “trop anoi” (too annoying) in medieval French, is located on one of the most beautiful parts of the Pomerol plateau. The fascinating soil diversity—half gravel mixed with clay and half deep black clay —with the presence of “machefer” or iron pan in the subsoil, brings power, depth and complexity to the wine.

Chateau Trotanoy’s vineyard was one of the few not to freeze in 1956 and today, it is comprised of very old vines, the average being close to 35 years. 90% of the vines are Merlot, the rest Cabernet Franc.

Trotanoy was acquired by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix, who own many other properties in both Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, including Magdelaine, Belair-Monange, La Fleur-Petrus, Lafleur-Gazin, Lagrange, Latour a Pomerol, and Hosanna.

Trotanoy is vinified in small concrete vats and the young wine matures in 50% new oak barrels for about 18 months. When ready, this wine shows enormous complexity and concentration. It can easily be kept 25 years or more in great vintages.
