2023 Château Trotte Vieille, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 53% Cabernet Franc; 44% Merlot; 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Trotte Vieille’s calling card is old-vine Cabernet Franc, with some dating back to pre-Phylloxera. The estate makes one extraordinary cuvée from the oldest vines; just 135 bottles are produced (though never yet sold), with the rest added to this wine. There is no doubting the progress here since the new cellars in 2021. This wine is exceptionally perfumed, with sweet violet and iris. The vines are in the heart of St Emilion’s astéries limestone, whose energy lifts the final palate with a floral, herbal character of tarragon and fennel. This is complex and very interesting.

Drink 2032 - 2052

About this wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
