Château Trotanoy is one of those rare wines that defines a place, and the 2021 vintage proves just how timeless great Pomerol can be—even in a cooler year.

It’s all about depth and quiet power: dark, ripe plum and black cherry layered with tobacco, truffle, wet earth, and sweet spice. There’s serious structure here—firm tannins and a deep mineral core—but also a kind of effortless elegance that only the greats achieve. The 2021 leans a little fresher and more classic in style compared to richer vintages, but it still carries the incredible depth and gravitas that make Trotanoy one of Bordeaux’s crown jewels.

Built for long aging, but already humming with layered complexity if you choose to open it with a long decant.

Perfect for: landmark celebrations, serious cellars, roast lamb feasts, or those nights when only the best Merlot on the planet will do.

Antonio Galloni

92-94 points

"The 2021 Trotanoy is a dense, powerful wine, despite the challenges of the year. There is a real feeling of substance that comes through in Trotanoy, even in 2021. Dark fruit, gravel, smoke, licorice and incense give Trotanoy its brooding, somber personality. More than anything else, though, it is the wine's sheer amplitude that impresses most." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

94 points

"While the 2021 Trotanoy is the most muscular, structured wine in the Mouiex portfolio this year, by Trotanoy's standards, the wine is remarkably supple and charming, and it will only require a modicum of cellaring, even if it will reward more. Offering up aromas of dark cherries, plums and berries mingled with sweet soil tones, licorice and espresso roast, it's medium to full-bodied, with a broad attack, a creamy core of fruit and sweet, powdery tannins that only gently assert themselves on the finish." —William Kelley

Jancis Robinson

16.5 points

"Not the most powerful or dense Trotanoy but neat and concise. More open than usual at this stage with red-berry and blood-orange notes. Juicy and almost accessible, the tannins so fine they are practically invisible. But there is an undertow of structure that provides grip and persistence." —Jancis Robinson

Decanter

95 points

"Smoked wild berries, with fragrant cherries on the nose. The texture stands out straight away, smooth, broad, muscular but also sleek, refined and precise. Flavours of bright cherries and raspberries with smoked earth and liquorice nuances coarse across the palate lifted by the acidity but not overpowered by it. The gently gripping tannins have a chalky, liquorice tang to them, settling on the tongue and providing the support and frame. This feels well worked, quietly confident - extremely well delivered and charming. It has both the concentration and glamour that Pomerol does so well. A layered but also lifted take on the vintage with clear ageing potential." —Georgina Hindle
