'Honestly not a very good name'. First vintage of this occasional second wine. Their second wine policy: It’s very tricky to have a wine made just from vines on the edge of the vineyard but in 2009 there were two parcels that didn't make it – more an accident. None made in 2011, maybe an Espérance 2010. Gorgeous nose. Very opulent and creamy! Long. Rich. So hedonistic. Just slightly green/dry on finish. (JR)
The 2009 L’Esperance de Trotanoy is a somewhat superficial but attractive wine with plenty of black cherries and damp earth as well as hints of graphite and spice. It should drink well for up to a decade. For the first time at Trotanoy, 500 cases of a second wine were produced from 100% Merlot from a parcel that is often excluded from the final blend.

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.
