Tasting notes

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. Drink 2027-2045.

The 2021 Trotanoy was picked September 27 to October 4. This has one of the most marine-influenced aromatic profiles among the Pomerol wines tasted, very well defined and even uncompromising in some ways, revealing touches of iris flower and sea cave. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. A typical Trotanoy structure: maybe aloof in some ways, yet compelling at the same time. Sappy on the persistent finish. This should turn into a very cerebral Pomerol that will appeal to those who adore this estate. Not for the first time, this is JP Moueix's star this year.

A very fine-tannined red with ultra-fine, polished and velvety tannins that run the length of the wine. Medium-bodied. Very classy.

The 2021 Trotanoy is 100% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it sashays out with perfumed notes of violets, licorice, and crushed cloves over a core of blackberries and black raspberries, plus a hint of fragrant earth. Medium-bodied, the palate is achingly subtle with a wonderful array of mineral and savory accents to the pristine, fantastically vibrant black fruits, with a finish that goes on and on. This is a jaw-dropping achievement!2028-2052

I have been looking forward to retasting this in bottle, because it slightly underwhelmed during En Primeur. Things have definitely filled out through the mid palate, with plenty of grilled blueberry and cassis fruit, black truffles, black tea, olive pit, cocoa bean and crushed rocks. Impressive, subdued but with plenty of life and tannic architecture. An unusual solo-Merlot blend due to vintage conditions. Harvest September 27 to October 4.

100% Merlot. Cask sample.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. (JL)Drink 2028 – 2040

The most muscular, structured wine in the Mouiex portfolio is the 2021 Trotanoy, a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered Pomerol evocative of cherries, licorice, loamy soil, black truffles and spices. Impressively concentrated and tightly wound, it will reward bottle age.

This has that slow burn build that Trotanoy does so well, touches of crushed coffee bean, cassis, truffles. Discreet and closed down right now, stays true to the brand, which is a pleasure for those of us who love this estate. It has plenty of tannic structure but is less packed with fruits through the mid palate than usual so may be ready to approach earlier than usual. September 27 to October 4.
