50 % Cabernet Franc, 45 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Delikates dicht verwobenes Bouquet, Wildkirsche, Walderdbeere und zartes Veilchenparfüm, dahinter Heidekraut, Graphit und rotes Johannisbeergelee. Am geradlinigen straffen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, perfekt balancierter Rasse und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten, feinaromatischen, langanhaltenden Finale schwarze Johannisbeere, ungeheuer tiefgründig mit feinkörniger Adstringenz und edler Salznote. Ganz großes Trottevieille-Kino, der beste, den ich Primeur je verkosten durfte.

Almost opaque in color, the wine pops with black cherries, tobacco leaf, flowers, plums, smoke, and chocolate in the aromatics. The palate is silky, vibrant, and plush. The fruits are deep, intense, long, vibrant, and most importantly, pure. There is length, complexity, opulence, balance and a strong sensation of crushed stones, blackberries, chocolate, and plums in the finish you can taste and feel. TrotteVieille has been on an incredible roll lately. Perhaps, with the aid of their new cellars, this is the best vintage in the history of the estate! The wine blends 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.14.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 8 - September 27. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2055. 96-98 Pts.

The most structured and impressive Trottevieille I have ever tasted. It is full-bodied yet compacted with a fine velvet texture. Intense finish with super tension and focus. Could move up a notch.

A striking and seriously impressive Trotte Vieille in 2022. Serious and strong aromatically, fully expressive with dark ripe bramble fruits, softly fragrant with gentle perfumed nuances. Bright and alive in the glass, has some tension, a sense of linearity and focus, with not much expansiveness at this point but the tannin detail and definition is exceptional with a soft creamy, chalky, powdery and firm texture. So refined, feels almost light in the mouth but there’s concentration and power underneath with mouthwatering acidity keeping the sense of life. Extremely well constructed with poise and a sense of definition to the overall frame. Very precise and totally moreish in a brooding way. A very complete wine with so much to like. 100% new oak. 60% grand vin. 30hl/ha. 3.70pH. First vintage fully operating in the new gravity fed cellar.
