Château TrotteVieille, an estate bought out of love by Marcel Borie

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.

in one of Bordeaux’s best

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.
