Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 96+
The 2019 Trotanoy offers brambly red fruit and autumn bonfire on the nose, understated at first but gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and fine acidity. Black pepper infuses the red fruit, harmonious with a clean and precise finish. I admire the manner in which this fans out and it should drink well for 20-30 years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2050

The most powerful wine in the Mouiex portfolio this year is the 2019 Trotanoy, a rich, muscular effort that is also unusually open out of the gates for a young wine from this estate. Offering up aromas of cherries, dark berries, cedarwood, rich spices, sweet soil tones and creamy new oak, it’s full-bodied, deep and textural, with a lavish attack, notable concentration and plenty of ripe tannin that asserts itself on the youthfully chewy finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2059
