Chateau Trotanoy

Pomerol

98 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW "A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Trotanoy is deep garnet-purple in color. It is typically broody to start off with reluctant notions of tar, chargrill, and wild sage eventually giving way to a powerful core of plum preserves, black currant cordial, and blueberry pie, plus hints of rusty nails, cracked black pepper, fertile loam, and smoked meats. The full-bodied palate is so very taut and muscular, you could bounce a dime off it, delivering tightly wound layers of black fruits, earth, and mineral nuances, contained within a rock-solid frame of super-ripe, rounded tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. This is one for the lang-haul!"
