- Terroir: 10 hectares of clay-limestone in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, where chalky soils sculpt wines of a distinctive minerality.
- Vinification: Patient aging in new oak barrels, producing cuvées where the precision of the grape varieties combines with structured elegance.
Tasting notes for Château Trotte Vieille Trotte Vieille 1970
To the eye – A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, dense and slightly veiled by time, revealing a silky texture and generous substance.
On the nose – First, aromas of candied raspberry and black cherry, followed by notes of liquorice, blonde tobacco, and a mineral touch reminiscent of the damp chalk of the Saint-Émilion hillsides.
On the palate – A velvety attack, carried by silky yet still present tannins, a lively acidity that brings tension, and a long finish where gentle spices and a discreet salinity intertwine.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
