Perfumed and vivid nose. Supple and alive plump yet streamlined too - the initial bounce of round ripe fruit straightens and focuses like a laser with cool blue fruits and menthol touches supported by the grippy salty tannins that keep the mouth full of texture. A serious wine yet nuanced pure and fresh. Perhaps not the weight you?d usually expect but this has total charm and really delivers an enjoyable cellarable wine. (Drink between 2028-2050)

A very fine-tannined red with ultra-fine polished and velvety tannins that run the length of the wine. Medium-bodied. Very classy.
Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points
Always a powerful structured wine the 2021 Château Trotanoy comes from 7.2 hectares of vines on the southern portion of the appellation and gravelly clay and iron-laced soils. All Merlot it offers a deep ruby/plum hue to go with a medium-bodied concentrated inward style as well as classic Trotanoy notes of ripe dark fruits woodsmoke iron and leather. Concentrated with ripe polished yet building tannins it has a seamless pure mouthfeel and a great finish. In comparison to the more round up-front and pleasure-bent Fleur-Petrus this is much more straight deep and focused. Give bottles a solid 4-6 years and enjoy over the following two decades.

The 2021 Trotanoy is 100% Merlot and it has a deep garnet-purple color. It sings of black cherries mulberries and fresh plums soon opening out to reveal hints of lilacs cinnamon stick and clove oil. The medium-bodied palate delivers taut muscular fruit with an approachable backbone of velvety tannins and bags of freshness finishing on a lingering ferrous note. Very skillfully managed this is a wonderfully accessible delicious Trotanoy! Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown Review date: 2024-04-23

While the 2021 Trotanoy is the most muscular structured wine in the Mouiex portfolio this year by Trotanoy's standards the wine is remarkably supple and charming and it will only require a modicum of cellaring even if it will reward more. Offering up aromas of dark cherries plums and berries mingled with sweet soil tones licorice and espresso roast it's medium to full-bodied with a broad attack a creamy core of fruit and sweet powdery tannins that only gently assert themselves on the finish.
