Trotanoy - Pomerol (Futures Estimated Arrival Fall 2025) 2022 (750ml)
James Suckling: 99-100 Points
4 Apr 2023 ? 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.
Wine Spectator: 97 Points
There's some bass thumping in the form of black currant and blackberry reduction notes coiled tightly within a cast iron frame. Sweet tobacco alder and chestnut accents create a seductive backdrop on the finish which is redolent of smoldering earth. Seriously structured and for the long haul. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2045. From France.?J.M.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96-98 Points
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.
vVinous: 96-98 Points
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.
Wine Advocate: 94-95 Points
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.
