Château Trotte Vieille 2020

Originating from the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, Château Trotte Vieille 2020 showcases the richness and finesse of the great wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B, the estate delivers a vintage that is both concentrated, elegant, and marked by notable aromatic depth.

The 2020 vintage, particularly successful in Bordeaux, offers an expressive and harmonious wine. The nose opens with intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of violet, truffle, cocoa, sweet spices, and a subtle hint of graphite. Oak ageing adds complexity and depth while preserving the purity of the fruit.

On the palate, the texture is generous and silky. The structure is built on fine, perfectly integrated tannins, supported by a freshness that brings balance and precision. The finish is long, refined, and persistent, marked by black fruits, noble wood, and a delicate mineral touch.

A great Saint-Émilion, already appealing in its youth, yet with remarkable ageing potential over several decades.
