CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2025 Trotte Vieille was picked between September 4 and 19 at just over 30 hl/ha and matured entirely in new oak. The 51% Cabernet Franc drives the nose, so it errs more towards black, slightly peppery fruit, with touches of bay leaf and pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, pleasing edginess, moderate depth, more linear, fresh and sapid in style, with commendable mineralite towards the finish. This is a very well-crafted Saint-Emilion that will only get better with age, as testified by numerous vintages tasted over the years.
