Wine Spectator, January 2018

Solidly built, if a bit stolid, offering notes of singed juniper, cedar and tobacco and flavors of dried red currant, bitter plum and blood orange coulis. Best from 2023 through 2038. — J.M.

The 2015 Trottevieille is a Bordeaux Blend of exceptional quality and finesse. With its deep red color and enticing aromas, this wine is a true representation of the Saint Emilion region in Bordeaux, France. The blend is composed of 49% Merlot, 49% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, all meticulously picked between September 28th and October 9th.

Upon opening the bottle, the intense bouquet immediately captivates the senses. The aromas of red and black fruits are tightly wound, with hints of truffle that emerge with aeration. As the wine breathes, it achieves a wonderful level of definition, showcasing its complexity and depth.

On the palate, the Trottevieille displays superb clarity and a medium-bodied structure that feels supple and smooth. The purity of the fruit is evident, with flavors of orange sorbet and red fruits taking center stage. The wine effortlessly absorbs the new oak, resulting in a silky texture and a long, satisfying finish. The tannins are finely integrated, adding to the overall balance and elegance of the wine.
