Chateau Trotanoy 1995

Chateau Trotanoy 1995 represents characteristic Pomerol elegance with enormous substance. The 1995 vintage has given this estate remarkable ripeness and complexity without sacrificing the fruit. Critics like Falstaff, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Winespectator praise the wine for its structure, depth, and long-term aging potential. The special quality of Trotanoy lies in the fine balance of dense fruit, silky tannins, and a mineral foundation, which develops over time into a multifaceted, almost Burgundian elegance.

In tasting, the wine appears deep ruby red with a garnet rim in the glass. The bouquet reveals ripe cassis, black cherry, plum, and subtle notes of truffle, leather, and coffee. On the palate, it impresses with a velvety texture, a concentrated mid-palate, integrated tannins, and refreshing juiciness that lingers. With aeration, the aromas refine into a complex mix of minerality, chocolate, and smoke, adding depth to the wine.

Food pairing recommendation: Serve with slow-braised beef, game dishes, or truffle risotto; ideal at 16–18°C for the balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity to further develop and for the wine to accompany you for years.
