Trotanoy 2009 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by Jean-Pierre Moueix (and run by Christian Moueix), Trotanoy is one of Pomerol`s leading estates and owns around eight hectares of vines around 1km away from Petrus. The plantings are 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc on clay and gravel soils. This bottle is from the legendary 2009 Right Bank Bordeaux vintage. "An absolutely prodigious wine, the dense purple 2009 Trotanoy exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins, fabulous opulence and palate presence, this terrific wine should be at its best in 7-10 years and last for 20 or more. Think of it as a more concentrated, `bigger` version of the extraordinary 1998." Robert Parker, 2012
