Description

Château Trotanoy Pomerol 2015 – A Powerful and Elegant Right Bank Bordeaux

Château Trotanoy 2015 is an exceptional red wine from Pomerol, one of the most prestigious appellations on Bordeaux's Right Bank.

Celebrated for its remarkable depth, aromatic complexity and ageing potential, Château Trotanoy occupies a privileged position among the finest wines of the region.

The estate has been managed by Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1953, continuing a long tradition of producing concentrated and beautifully structured Bordeaux wines.

Its vineyard extends over 7.2 hectares on the renowned Pomerol plateau.

The soils combine gravel over clay with deep black clay, supported by an iron-rich layer locally known as crasse de fer.

This distinctive geological composition contributes to the wine's power, depth and remarkable longevity.

The 2015 vintage benefited from favourable growing conditions, allowing the grapes to develop excellent ripeness and concentration.

The wine is reported as a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, combining the richness of Merlot with the aromatic freshness of Cabernet Franc.

Traditional winemaking techniques focus on controlled extraction, followed by maturation in oak barrels to refine the wine's structure.

In the glass, Château Trotanoy 2015 displays a deep garnet colour with purple highlights.

The bouquet is intense and expressive, revealing aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum preserve and dark cherry.

Additional notes of rose petals, liquorice, chocolate and wild mushrooms contribute complexity and elegance.

On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, offering generous layers of dark fruit.

Its tannins are exceptionally velvety, creating a smooth yet powerful texture.

A refreshing structure balances the ripe fruit, leading to a remarkably long finish with mineral and spicy nuances.

Awarded 97/100 by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Château Trotanoy 2015 demonstrates the outstanding potential of this celebrated Bordeaux vintage.

Its structure and concentration make it suitable for extended cellaring under appropriate conditions.

At the table, it pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef fillet, game birds, duck and dishes featuring porcini mushrooms or black truffles.

Serving at approximately 16–18°C allows its rich bouquet and refined tannins to be fully appreciated.

Presented in a 75cl bottle, Château Trotanoy 2015 represents a remarkable expression of Pomerol, combining the generosity of the vintage with the exceptional terroir and winemaking expertise of Jean-Pierre Moueix.
