Neal Martin's Wine Journal, November 2011

Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. The green notes that marred barrel samples of this wine seem to have disappeared by the time of bottling. Here, the Trotanoy 2007 has a compelling nose, broody at...

Fully mature and drinking at point, the 2007 reveals a vivid ruby hue as well as a complex perfume of currant buds, cedarwood, tobacco, and truffly earth, with plenty of green and herbal undercurrents. Medium-bodied and...

View From The Cellar, September 2013

The 2007 Trotanoy is a beautiful middleweight in the making, with a sense of completeness on both the nose and palate that is immensely enjoyable. Despite the difficult summer of 2007, most merlot on the Right Bank...

Wine Spectator, March 2010

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.
