2022 Chateau Trotanoy

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. ~ (100) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-19-2023

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. ~ (95) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-28-2023

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. ~ (98) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-10-2023

Aromatically lifted and fresh with more floral notes than usual. Sumptuous fruit on the palate, the texture smooth and refined but a big structure behind. Lively and long. Sublimated power. ~ (17.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 5-5-2023
