Trotanoy 2004 - Pomerol

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

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

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

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

Tasting notes by René Gabriel from January 2022:

Chateau Trotanoy 2004, Pomerol 18/20

Colour: Very dark colour, 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.

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