It reveals expressive aromas of blackberries, plums, violets, and subtle spice, with hints of blood orange and dark fruit complexity. The palate is dense, muscular, and tightly focused, showing firm tannins, vibrant energy, and impressive depth. Despite its intensity, the wine remains balanced and precise, finishing long with mineral drive and savory nuance. A serious, age-worthy Pomerol built for long-term cellaring.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 97-98\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 30, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlueberry, raspberry, blood orange and lavender aromas follow through to a medium body with an intense and energized center palate that gives superb definition and vivid, tight fruit and tannins at the end. 96% merlot and 4% cabernet franc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 94-96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 30, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most powerful wine in the Mouiex cellars this year is the 2025 Trotanoy.

Chewy and ripe, broad and filling but juicy and charming at the same time. It’s quite pent up, definitely coiled and knitted down but there’s such an appealing softness to this expression – definitely not overextacted but harnessing the ripeness of the fruit and delivering an intense, concentrated wine without the density or plushness of a hot vintage. Plums, blackcurrants and cherries, wet stones, oyster shell and a salty liquorice finish. Yum.

The soil of Ch?teau Trotanoy is a very dense mixture of clay and gravel which tends to solidify as it dries out after rain to an almost concrete-like hardness, hence the name 'Trotanoy,' or, in other words, 'too wearisome' to cultivate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trotanoy vineyard slopes gently to the west. The soil at the highest point of exposure contains a good proportion of gravel, becoming progressively more dominated by clay as the elevation declines. Under this clay is a subsoil of red gravel and an impermeable layer of hard, iron-rich soil known as crasse de fer. This fascinating soil diversity brings power, depth and complexity to the wine. Trotanoy is vinified in small concrete vats, while aging takes place in oak barrels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrotanoy is a naturally profound, complex, richly-concentrated wine with outstanding aging potential. The wine possesses a deep color and a dense, powerful nose, repeated on the palate with the addition of creamy, dark chocolate notes, and a singular concentration of flavor owed to its very old vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003ePlease read the full En Primeur \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\" title=\"En Primeur Terms \u0026amp; Conditions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/pages\/en-primeur-terms-and-conditions\"\u003eterms \u0026amp; conditions\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"En-Primeur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41225108455488,"sku":"RDFR20250017","price":229.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/Chateau-Trotanoy-Pomerol.jpg?v=1706753655","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/chateau-trotanoy-pomerol-eta-q3-2028-en-primeur-2025-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
