Chateau Trotte Vieille - vienas seniausių ūkių St-Emilion apeliacijoje. Jo šaknys siekia 15-ą amžių. Šis ūkis turi vienus seniausių vynmedžių dešiniajame Bordo krante. Vidutinis vynmedžių amžius yra 50 metų, tačiau vynuogyne galima rasti ir virš 100 metų amžiaus turinčių medelių.
Vynas 12-18 mėnesių brandinamas beveik išimtinai naujo ąžuolo statinaitėse (apie 98% viso vyno).
The 2015 Trottevieille is blend of 49% Merlot, 49% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon picked between 28 September and 9 October matured in 100% new oak. It has a very intense bouquet, tightly wound with red and black fruit, hints of truffle coming through with aeration and then it appears to calm down and achieve a wonderful level of definition. The palate is medium-bodied with superb clarity. It feels supple in the mouth, extremely pure and soaking up the new oak with ease. It has a lively orange sorbet and red fruit-driven finish that is silky smooth in texture, thanks to the fineness of the tannin. Cellar this for 5-8 years minimum and then revel in this ascendant Saint Emilion for the next three or four decades.
Another wine that is better from bottle than the barrel, the wine has richness, chocolate covered red fruits, licorice, and espresso. The texture is soft, polished and caressing, the fruit has ripeness, elegance and flesh. There is length in the sweet, fruity finish. This is the best vintage of Trotte Vieille I have ever tasted!
