On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a smooth texture, showing off rich fruit flavors balanced by fine tannins and a touch of minerality. The wine has a slightly spicy finish, adding to its complexity. Ready to enjoy now.

This is the first year that Nicolas Thienpont took over the consulting and the wine shows improvement. Perfumed and floral with hints of dark fruits such as plums. Medium body, with firm tannins and a lean, silky finish.

A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, this property used to taste like a Bordeaux version of Beaujolais (25 years ago). However, that is no longer the case. The deep ruby/purple-colored 2011 Trimoulet exhibits good fruit as well as white chocolate and berry-scented notes intermixed with licorice, oak and spice. This is a well-made offering from a property that appears to be making a comeback. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years.
