A straightforward, elegant wine that is now fully mature, the 1979 Trotanoy lacks richness, but does offer pleasing spicy, earthy, berry fruit intermingled with aromas of toasty new oak. It is an elegant, lighter-styled wine with fine underlying acidity and tannins. It should keep for another 5-7 years. Last tasted, 4/93. Aug 1993, www.robertparker.com
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.
