Classified Premier Grand Cru AOC Saint-Émilion since 1955, Château TrotteVieille is acknowledged as one of the greatest wines in Saint-Émilion.
Having fallen in love with it, Marcel Borie purchased the property in 1947. The estate is run today by the Castéja family.
Château TrotteVieille is located on a superb slope to the east of the village of Saint-Émilion. The vineyard covers a terroir of 12 hectares made up of 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is one of the rare estates to still have very old Cabernet Franc vines dating back to before the outbreak of phylloxera.

Philippe Castéja, the château’s Managing Director since the 1990s, has brought together a skilled and ambitious team. Their closeness as colleagues, together with their invaluable experience, contribute to the success of the wines each year.
