Tasting Notes and Scores
Floral and tensioned with precision that gives it incredible brightness. It’s dreamy and energetic with purity and serenity. Full-bodied yet structured and polished. Dynamic young wine. Merlot and cabernet franc blend.
James Suckling
A masterclass in restrained structure and slow build. Never has the concentrated blue and black fruit and cooling mint balm of Trotanoy been more welcome. Think careful layers of cassis, creme de cassis, liqourice, slate, chocolate bock, rose petals, turmeric, graphite. You can see the intelligence and thought that has gone into capturing the essence of the property in a vintage that many Pomerols have been overwhelmed by. 72.ha, harvest September 1 to 19.
Decanter
The 2022 Trotanoy was picked 1-19 September. Clean and precise on the nose, yet obdurate (no surprise) and demanding that you will have to wait at least a decade. This is a Trotanoy that has resolved to keep everything up its sleeve aromatically. The palate is more compelling with its cathedral-like structure, judicious sprinkling of black pepper and its uncompromising grippy yet detailed finish. Immense…in a good way.
Neal Martin
Smoked earth, leather, graphite, and tobacco, as well as a massive amount of ripe red and black fruits, emerge from the 2022 Château Trotanoy, a rich, structured, powerful Pomerol with a stacked mid-palate, building tannins, and a great, great finish. It's one of the few Pomerols that has the capacity to match what they achieved in 2018 and 2020.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Trotanoy soars out of the glass with captivating aromatics. Surprisingly, Trotanoy, usually a powerhouse, comes across as quite refined at this stage. There's plenty of power, but not quite the imposing breadth of most years. I especially admire its density and overall complexity. Gravel, incense and scorched earth lend gravitas through to the deep, structured finish.
Antonio Galloni
The 2022 Trotanoy offers up rich aromas of blackberries, cherries, licorice and sweet spices, followed by a full-bodied, rich and tannic palate that's broad shouldered, powerful and concentrated. As ever, this is the most muscular, structured, robust wine in the Mouiex portfolio, a shorter than usual maceration notwithstanding, and it will require patience.
