For andet år i træk producerer denne nabo til Troplong Mondot en storslået vin, dyb og krydret og fuld af spil og finesse, den finere og mere elegante version af Troplong. Jeg elsker denne vin. 96-98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The makings of an exceptional wine in 2019 which, for me, narrowly beats the 2018, balancing excellent definition, succulence, ripeness of fruit, velvety sleek tannins, acidity and menthol minerality. Fragrant black fruits on the nose with rose and violet reflections, some cola, crayon, liquorice and tobacco too. Quite nuanced and expressive but subtle, not shouting. Cool and crunchy on the palate, you can feel the weight straight away but not in a ripe way, more in a smooth velvety way, textured - tannins are plush and softly chalky, this has confidence while having blueberry, cherry, mint and crushed stone flavours with such clarity and purity. It has muscle and is flexing it right now, still so youthful but well defined and presented. More variation between the first and second wines in 2019 with this stealing the show. This is a force to be reckoned with and considered 'a perfect vintage' for estate manager Christophe Dussutour, that 'has everything'. 98/100

Suckling om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, plums, mushrooms, pine cones, cedar and tile. Full-bodied, yet reserved, with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. So layered and beautiful. Hints of crushed stone and deep earth on the finish. Steely at the end. Give this time. Try after 2025. 97/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Trotte Vieille 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Dark garnet in hue, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and intense. The unique sensation of minerality is on full display here with all its rocks, stones and oceanic character. The fruit is vibrant, round, sweet, long and clean. Everything is in harmony here. The complex aromatic's along with the richly textured, concentrated mouthfeel, silky tannins and long finish is just great. Give it 7-9 years of aging before pulling a cork and enjoy it over the next 20 years or so. Made from a blend of 49% Cabernet Franc, 48% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. 94-96/100
