Chateau Trotanoy is a Bordeaux wine estate in the Pomerol appellation, regarded as one of the great wines of the right bank. The Merlot-dominant wine is known for its decadent, rich style, and its prices are among the highest in Bordeaux. In the 18th Century, the estate was known as Trop Ennuie, or "Too Annoying", due to the poor, hard-to-work nature of the soils here. Chateau Trotanoy is located on the western side of the Pomerol plateau, not far from Petrus and Lafleur. Trotanoy was one of the few estates that was not destroyed in the frosts of 1956, and therefore has some of the oldest vines in the region. A second wine, L'Esperance de Trotanoy, made its debut in 2009, but does not appear every year. Chateau Trotanoy has been a part of negociant JP Moueix since 1953, alongside Petrus.
Sweet black cherries, herbs, plum and bitter chocolate on the nose and palate with a fresh blast of spicy red berries and green herbs in the finish. The herbal notes come from the large portion of Cabernet Franc in the blend. Give this a year of two and enjoy over the decade while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop.
