Chateau Trotanoy 2017

Appellation: Pomerol, Bordeaux

IN. Excellent appearance.

This lot comes from a private collector who bought through en-primeur. The wine has been in commercial storage since arrival.

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Trotanoy is 100% Merlot and begins quite stubborn and broody on the nose at this youthful stage, needing a lot of coaxing to reveal a core of plum preserves, blackberry pie and licorice with suggestions of cast-iron pan, underbrush, tilled soil and charcoal. Medium-bodied, the palate is not at all weighty, but it is built like a brick house, with bags of restrained, muscular fruit and a solid line of firm, grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and fantastic tension. A very impressive wine that should by incredibly long-lived!" - RP 97 pts
