Tasting notes
Generally very highly regarded by other critics, I have enjoyed the 1976 Trotanoy, but it is now fully mature and showing signs of overripeness and a jammy, low acid character. Quite plummy, fat, even peppery, with a lovely lush structure, this is an exotic style of Trotanoy that is delicious, but lacks backbone and structure. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 10/83.

About the producer
Château Trotanoy was one of the first recognised Premier Cru sites on the Pomerol plateau, with records dating back to the late 1700s. Even back in the nineteenth century it was seen as the best site in Pomerol second only to Vieux Château Certan.
