Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Trotanoy 2018

100
/100

Lobenberg: Christian Moueix' mest kultiverede og ædle vinmark. Kun 7 hektar jord med grus på blåt og sort ler med masser af jern. Nabo til Le Pin, Petrus og VCC. Trotanoy er en myte og måske den eneste sande konkurrent ved siden af de store som Le Pin. Dette er den ultimative finesse i sort frugt, som intet presser. Sorte kirsebær, hyldebær, lidt slåen, tranebær og røde kirsebær nedenunder, det er svært at beskrive, hvor uendelig fin den er og alligevel så velduftende og intens, Le Pin er helt anderledes, meget mere i den røde frugt, jeg kunne ikke smage Petrus i år. Men de smagere, jeg mødte, tenderede i samme retning, uendelig tæt, sort, rig, fin og kirsebæragtig. Munden har alt, hvad en stor Pomerol har brug for, den er så utrolig højaromatisk i sort og rød frugt, men intet gør ondt, alt er umådeligt fint og samtidig med utrolig intensitet, alle sanser berøres, alt danser. Den løber frem og tilbage i munden, så intens, så stærkt koncentreret. En vin til mange årtier, som sandsynligvis altid vil være en 100-point-vin fra fadsmagningen til yderligere 50 år, for det er krystalklart. Jeg er ret overvældet, for det er en af de bedste vine, jeg har smagt i år. Og især i Pomerol sammen med VCC den ultimative oplevelse og mindst lige så god som Le Pin, med en anden stil. Store sager, berusende sager, utroligt fine sager. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Trotanoy

Super nose of dried blueberry, black plum, walnut, myrrh and sandalwood. Lavender, violet, and chocolate, too. Ripe with wood now, but fresh. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins. Lots of dark spice is interlaced with the ripe fruit, giving this complex, perfumed character. Muscular, long and seamless with incredible depth and concentration. Reminds me of the great 2009, but this is better with more structure. Amazing wine. This is 100% merlot. Try from 2027. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Trotanoy

Another heavenly Pomerol in the vintage, the 2018 Château Trotanoy checks in as 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in (I suspect) lots of new French oak (although it's certainly not apparent). Revealing a dense purple hue as well as a smorgasbord-like bouquet of blackcurrants, dried flowers, cured meats, violets, tobacco, and chocolate, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a sexy, seductive texture, building yet sweet tannins, and just a rich, concentrated, yet flawless profile on the palate that's already impossible to resist. Nevertheless, a good 7-8 years of bottle age are warranted, and this magical elixir is going to evolve for 40 years or more. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Trotanoy

The 2018 Trotanoy is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a jaw-dropping perfume of Black Forest cake, black raspberries, blackberry pie and kirsch, followed by hints of cast-iron pan, violets, woodsmoke, Chinese five spice and eucalyptus, with a waft of tree bark. The full-bodied palate explodes with exotic spice and mineral fireworks, grounded by a concentrated, black and red berry preserves core and framed by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. It will need a good five years in bottle to tame some of the youthfully overt, showy fruit and allow the mineral and earth nuances to emerge, then it should easily cellar another 35 years or more. 99/100

Galloni om: Chateau Trotanoy

The 2018 Trotanoy is a bold, powerful wine. In this vintage, some of the imposing structure that is such a Trotanoy signature has been replaced by super-expressive aromatics and striking detail. Dried herbs, iron, gravel and crushed rose petals all lend gorgeous savory nuance to a core of potent red berry fruit. Trotanoy is a Pomerol for those who can be patient. The 2018, though, is extraordinarily beautiful right out of the gate. 99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Trotanoy

-- Wine Spectator: Gorgeous, showing hefty structure throughout, carrying waves of tobacco- and charcoal-coated cassis, steeped plum and warm fig fruit. The dense finish is packed together now and seriously long. A very complete wine that helps set the bar in this vintage. 97-100/100

Chateau Trotanoy

Trotanoy, en legende, en ultra-sjælden vin, lige så sjælden som vinen fra nabodomænet Petrus. Begge ejendomme tilhører Moueix-familien. Begge vine er altid blandt de 5 bedste vine i Pomerol-appellationen. Trotanoy er et sandt vidunder i disciplinen finesse. Måske endda det bedste eksempel på...
