Trotanoy 2004 - Pomerol

Trotanoy 2004 - Pomerol

Do you know where the name Trotanoy comes from? In old French, "trop ​​anoi" or "trop ​​ennuie" means weariness from working the land.

The estate, just over 7 hectares, is located on one of the best exposed parts of the famous Pomerol plateau.

The Jean-Pierre Moueix establishments (Latour, Lagrange, Belair-Monange, Dominus, etc.) acquired it in 1953.

The mix of soils gives the wine power and depth as well as great complexity.

Château Trotanoy is one of the most sought-after wines of Pomerol and produces wines suitable for decades of aging!

The 2004 vintage, very hot, produced fleshy and fruity Pomerols but benefiting from a significant tannic structure and therefore a very respectable aging potential.

Tasting notes by René Gabriel from January 2022:

Château Trotanoy 2004, Pomerol 18/20

Dress: Very dark color, inside there are minimal signs of maturity.

Nose: A rather baroque nose. Large and deep bouquet of spices, black bread crust, black olives, Valrhona chocolate, including a pleasant green spice with a hint of eucalyptus.

On the palate: Lots of character, fleshy and powerful, it will be even better later. A fairly masculine Pomerol, which can be paired with strong dishes. Decant for three hours. I love this wine!
