Pomerol - Chateau Trotanoy 1982
The estate
Purchased by Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1953, Château Trotanoy has been considered one of Pomerol’s leading crus since the late 18th century. The soil at Château Trotanoy is a very dense mixture of clay and gravel that tends to harden as it dries after rain, becoming almost as hard as concrete. Hence the name “Trotanoy,” meaning “too difficult” to cultivate. Hand-harvested. Double sorting: manual and optical.
Already renowned for the quality of its wines in Roman times, Pomerol is the smallest appellation in Bordeaux. Home to internationally renowned châteaux, it produces a limited quantity of wines prized for their unique personality and highly sought-after character.
