Château Trotanoy's 1993 Bordeaux vintage is drinking beautifully right now.

Trotanoy has turned out an impressive string of Bordeaux vintages since the mid-1990s - and now sits at the pinnacle of Pomerol producers alongside Châteaux l'Eglise Clinet, l'Evangile and La Conseillante.

Trotanoy was once known as Trop Ennuie, but the estate name was changed by the former owners (the Giraud family), who felt that it lacked the panache to compete with Bordeaux's finest wines of the Graves and Médoc.

"Complex and subtle with lots going on in the glass. Not a huge wine, but has wonderful berry, chocolate, earth and mineral character. Medium in body and tannins, adding a long, delicious finish." Wine Spectator (Jan 1996)
