Notes of black raspberries, framboise, vanilla and lots of toasty oak emerge from the 2015 Chateau TrotteVieille, and it stays fresh and lively on the palate, with charming, sweet fruit, light tannin, and a good finish. Give it a few years to integrate its oak and enjoy over the following decade or more. (92+ Points)

This is phenomenal. Greatest wine from here. Such class and power. It starts off slowly and then goes on for minutes. Full body. Yet racy. The new 1961 Trotte.

The freshness and bright profile stand out, with red currant, pomegranate and blood orange notes that are atypical for the vintage. Pretty savory and floral details fill in and the finish has a fine chalky spine. Shows very little extraction.
