". . . the first example I had tasted of Trotanoy from this vintage, and the wine was absolutely stellar. I have to give it a slight nod over the more powerful, but less elegant and complex ’64 Trotanoy that I tasted last year. The bouquet is deep, refined and in full bloom, soaring from the glass in a mélange of plums, blood orange, mulberries, loads of black truffles, chocolate, cigar smoke, strong soil tones and a delicate topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a core of juicy fruit, excellent structure, and a long, velvety and impeccably balanced finish. There remains just a whiff of melted tannin here, but the wine’s blood orange acidity continues to give the wine shape and grip on the finish. This is a great Trotanoy . . ."

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.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
