Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2029-2050

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 takes time to cohere on the nose, with scents of red fruit, black olive, violet and liquorice, though it meliorates in the glass and finds more and more refinement. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins, spicy and peppery, well integrated oak and a concentrated finish that will require time. I believe this will come good in the end and represents one of the finest wines from this underestimated estate in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Tasted blind. Lightly toasty and with some energy. Then just a tad drying on the end but it clearly expresses the vintage and appellation. (JR)
