What are the grape varieties used in the production of Château Trotanoy wines?
Château Trotanoy relies on an almost monolithic expression of Merlot, the king grape variety of the Pomerol appellation. Merlot is the dominant variety, representing approximately 90% of the vineyard, complemented by Cabernet Franc for the remaining 10%. Recent vintages bear witness to an adaptation to climatic evolution, with, for example, 100% Merlot vinified in 2023. This dominance of Merlot on deep clay soils explains the velvety texture and aromatic richness so characteristic of the estate's style.
