This illustrious estate whose name meant in old French "trop anoi" or "too much trouble" (when working the land) is located on one of the best-exposed parts of the famous Pomerol plateau and was acquired in 1953 by Etablissements Jean-Pierre MOUEIX, who have been operating it since. The mixed soils – half gravel on clay and half deep black clay – on a bed of iron deposits gives the wine both power and depth as well as great complexity. The harvest is carried out in a traditional manner (regular plowing, thinning, leaf removal) and ideally gathered over two or three afternoons. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats and the young wine is then aged in oak barrels, half of which are renewed each year. Château TROTANOY is among the most sought-after wines of the appellation and can be kept for several decades in great vintages.
