2021 Château Trotanoy, Pomerol

A 2021 Pomerol from Château Trotanoy, a property with history dating back to the 18th century and owned by the Moueix family. The wine is mainly Merlot with a smaller share of Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested and carefully sorted, then traditionally vinified in small temperature-controlled steel tanks and aged in French oak casks, a large part new. The terroir is heavy, iron-rich clay and gravel. Aromas include blackcurrant, plum, violet, truffle and light graphite, while the palate is full and deep with dark berries, spice, tobacco and mineral undertones.
