#72 in Top 100 Wines of France 2026. The depth and complexity are wonderful, with blackberry, blueberry, dried flower, bark, violet and black olive aromas. Full-bodied with a deep palate of dark fruit and a hint of dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied but very tight, framed beautifully with firm and open-grained tannins that go on and on. Chewy and lightly salty at the end. 100% merlot. Needs time to soften. Best after 2029.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

The 2023 Trotanoy is one of the most elegant Trotanoys in recent memory. I especially admire its svelte, vertical personality. There's plenty of Trotanoy energy, but the 2023 is not as imposing as most recent vintages have been. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, mocha and pomegranate all build beautifully with a bit of time in the glass.

The Wine Independent

95-97 2023 Trotanoy has a finely structured nose with notes of cacao and chocolate and an almost aristocratic feel to it. The taste is round, subtle and creamy with a structured jammy, elegant aftertaste and soft tannins. This is a wine that will require significant patience to show its best. All elements are there, they just need time to meld together. Due to it’s elegance and purity this wine should fly first class.

Wine Spectator

An ample core of gently warmed cassis and plum reduction gains depth as this airs, while mouthwatering notes of chestnut, alder, red tea and sweet tobacco fill in liberally through the finish. Refined and poised, this seems to pull everything it can from the vintage without looking like it’s trying too hard. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2045. 2,400 cases made, 175 cases imported.

Sporting a deep purple hue, the 2023 Château Trotanoy reveals ripe black fruits, iron, graphite, smoky tobacco, and crushed stone on the nose. It's a rich, medium to full-bodied, deep, dense Pomerol that has the classic structured frame of this terroir, ripe, building tannins, tons of chalky minerality, and a great finish. I almost always find a sanguine, bloody character in this wine, and it's certainly present in the 2023. This will need a decade of bottle age to reach its prime drinking plateau and will be long-lived. Drink 2035-2063.
