Trotanoy 1995 Pomerol 75cl

Château Trotanoy 1995 Pomerol 

100% merlot grape variety

This prestigious estate, whose name in old French evoked the intense labor of the land, is located on one of the best exposed plots of the famous Pomerol plateau. Acquired in 1953 by the Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, who have operated it since then, it benefits from an exceptional terroir.

The diversity of the soils, composed of equal parts gravel underlain by clay and deep black clay over an iron dross substrate, gives the wine a unique combination of power, depth and complexity.

The vineyard, partially preserved from the devastating frosts of 1956, is on average 35 years old. It is grown using traditional methods, including regular plowing, thinning and leaf stripping, and the harvest is ideally carried out in two or three afternoons. Fermentations take place in cement vats, then the young wine is aged in oak barrels, half of which is renewed each year.

Château Trotanoy is among the most popular wines of the appellation and can easily age for several decades in exceptional vintages.
