"The 1983 Trotanoy is a beautiful example of the vintage and one of the great unsung years for this estate in the superb decade of the 1980s. The excellent bouquet offers up a very complex and classic mélange of dark berries, roasted plums, cigar smoke, a touch of new leather, tobacco leaf, incipient nuttiness, coffee, a beautiful base of gravelly soil, fresh herbs, incipient notes of black truffles and a smoke topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and impressively complex, with a fine core of fruit, superb elegance and focus, modest tannins and lovely length and grip on the perfectly balanced, creamy and light on its feet finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
A tiny, prestigious Right Bank appellation famed for opulent, velvety Merlot-based wines. Iron-rich clay soils yield some of the world's most coveted and concentrated reds.
