Max score: 95

Drink To: 2032-2060

Château Trotte Vieille is a 10-hectare estate based in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux. Purchased by Marcel Borie in 1955, it has since belonged to the négociant house Borie-Manoux. Its name derives from the legend of “the old trotting lady” who spent her time trotting around the area in search of gossip. Located on a slope east of Saint- Émilion its 10-hectare walled vineyard is planted with Merlot (c.50%), Cabernet Franc (c.45%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.5%). The final blend is mature in 80% new oak barriques for 18 months before being bottled unfiltered. The wine boasts a powerful yet elegant nose of red and black fruits, complete with balanced tannins and excellent structure.

The 2022 Trotte Vieille represents the first year when all the Cabernet Sauvignon entered the Grand Vin (5%). Picked from 2 to 27 September, it is aged entirely in new oak. It has an intense bouquet that is well-defined albeit coated with the oak at the moment - this will be subsumed with time. There is an underlying orange pith/tangerine element lending nuance. The palate is very harmonious on the entry with pliant tannins. Very precise, silky smooth in texture thanks to the use of their new cuveries equipped with smaller vats. The acidity is nicely judged, opulent yet controlled with a touch of white pepper right on the finish. Very stylish.
