95-100 (01-2010) This wine is hyper-powerful. Concentrated, thick, rich. One of the greatest wines of the vintage. It can be drunk now but can wait another 10 to 20 years. Very great success.

This wine has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. More backward, and possibly even more concentrated than the 1970 Petrus (as well as more tannic), this huge, old style, massive, thick, rich wine is crammed with concentrated, chocolatey, berry fruit, with a hint of leather, smoked meat, and licorice. The wine's opaque garnet color reveals no sign of amber. The nose is just beginning to open. The flavors are so concentrated that I am going to go out on a limb and say this may be the most concentrated Trotanoy made in the post-World War II era. I suspect this wine can still be purchased for a relatively good price. Owners should plan on drinking it between 2000-2030. One of the three greatest wines of the vintage, the 1970 Trotanoy is the finest wine made at this estate save for the extraordinary 1961 and 1945.

Château Château Trotanoy
Château Trotanoy
Château Trotanoy, Pomerol and Lalande-de-Pomerol. This illustrious growth, whose name meant "too much trouble" or "too annoying" in old French (referring to working the land), is located on one of the best-exposed parts of the famous Pomerol plateau and was acquired in 1953 by Etablissements Jean-Pierre MOUEIX, who have been operating it since. The mixed soil composition – half gravel over clay and half deep black clay – on a bed of iron deposits gives the wine both power and depth as well as great complexity. The Château TROTANOY vineyard, partly spared by the dramatic frosts of 1956, has an average age of nearly 35 years. It is cultivated using traditional methods (regular plowing, thinning, leaf removal) and ideally harvested over two or three afternoons. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats, and the young wine is then aged in oak barrels, half of which are renewed each year. Château TROTANOY is among the most sought-after wines of the appellation and can be kept for several decades in great vintages.
