Château Trotte Vieille is one of the historic estates of Saint-Émilion. The château is situated on the limestone plateau and is known for its old vines, including some exceptionally old Cabernet Franc vines. This long history is more than just a footnote: it gives the wine a place of its own among the great names of the Right Bank.
Limestone plays an important role on the Saint-Émilion plateau. The terroir and the age of the vines contribute to the character of Trotte Vieille. Cabernet Franc and Merlot are key grape varieties for the estate. The combination of fruit, freshness, and tannins makes this wine one worth aging with patience.
The summer of 2015 in Bordeaux was warm, producing ripe grapes with good structure. At Trotte Vieille, that vintage takes on its own character thanks to the combination of old vines and the vineyard’s location on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion.
Black cherries, blackcurrants, plums, and spicy notes define the aromatic profile. The tannins provide structure, while the wine’s ripeness lends it a full-bodied character. With bottle aging, the fruit aromas gradually blend with notes of cedar, tobacco, and earth. How the wine evolves also depends on storage conditions and when it is opened.
A wine like this pairs beautifully with lamb, roast beef, or a dish with mushrooms. Don’t serve it too warm, and give the aromas time to open up in the glass. Taste it before deciding whether decanting is necessary.
Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at a stable temperature. Sediment may form in older Bordeaux wines. If this happens, stand the bottle upright beforehand and pour carefully. It is primarily the combination of a historic estate, old vines, and a distinctive vintage that makes this Saint-Émilion so interesting.
