Presentation of the 2022 vintage by Axel Marchal, Doctor of \u0152nology and Consultant \u0152nologist for the Cast\u00e9ja family estates.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Intensely colourful and brilliant, this TrotteVieille develops a remarkable fruity bouquet, marked by aromas of gooseberry jelly, raspberry and peony. Its aromatic precision and the complexity of its expression are fascinating, as well as its mouth, creamy, tasty but with a racy power. Of great distinction, its persistence and salinity reflect admirably its origin.” <\/p>\n Ch\u00e2teau TrotteVieille 2022 among the top wines from Bordeaux 2022 vintage according to the Tasting Book AI..<\/strong><\/p>\n Tastingbook.com has rated Bordeaux\u2019s 100 best wines from 2022 vintage without tasting them. The points are formed by the tastingbook AI \u2013 Artificial Intelligence, which takes into account the wine ratings of the world’s 50 best-known wine Critics, wine ratings by thousands of tastingbook’s professionals from the last 52 Bordeaux vintages (1980-2021), also taking into account the climatic conditions of those vintages, the quality and the reputation of the producers and their ability to produce wines in vintages similar to 2022.

\nIntense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Marvellous nose with very expressive character, ripe fruit, blackberries and mulberries, ripe cherries with hints of floral tones in the background. Fine toasting, elegant oak, great freshness and precision. Mouth watering finish with excellent length, multi-layered with fruit, spiciness and minerality. A great wine.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe most structured and impressive Trottevieille I have ever tasted. It is full-bodied yet compacted with a fine velvet texture. Intense finish with super tension and focus. Could move up a notch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n“Couleur sombre et pourpre. Nez intense, fin, fruit\u00e9, pur et subtil. Particuli\u00e8rement minutieux en entr\u00e9e de bouche, tr\u00e8s aromatique au milieu, avec de la classe dans la texture, du corps, le vin grandit en finale, suave, fondant, sur un grain fin. Il s’agit du premier mill\u00e9sime vinifi\u00e9 dans le nouveau chai. La pr\u00e9cision de la r\u00e9alisation est in\u00e9dite. Assemblage :50 % cabernet franc, 45 % merlot, 5 % cabernet sauvignon. Degr\u00e9 d’alcool : 14\u00b05 – pH : 3,7. Rendement : 29 hl\/ha.”<\/p>\n
\n“The quality of the 2022 Trotte Vieille took me by surprise, but clearly more diligent viticulture, combined with a new winery equipped with fully 26 vats for the estate’s 11 hectares of vineyards, is beginning to pay off, as this is the most complete, integrated young wine I have ever tasted at this address. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, violets and incense, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a deep core of vibrant fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a long, saline finish. A blend of fully 50% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot, it derives exclusively from Trotte Vieille’s historic clay-limestone walled vineyard.”<\/p>\n
\n“50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Trotte Vieille se r\u00e9v\u00e8le avec d\u00e9licatesse, subtilit\u00e9. Le bouquet ne cherche gu\u00e8re \u00e0 en jeter, mais bien plus \u00e0 attirer l’attention sur sa pluralit\u00e9 et sa profondeur. L’alliance entre des notes de myrtilles, de cerises, de poivre et de menthe suivies d’\u00e9videntes nuances florales, est parfaite ! L’attaque, avec une fine sucrosit\u00e9, annonce un vin charmant, invitant. Il r\u00e9v\u00e8le sa puissance \u00e0 partir du milieu de bouche, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 ses tannins assurent \u00e9nergie et puissance. Ils sont d’ailleurs de pair avec la tension de la structure, qui le rend bien \u00e0 l’ensemble du palais. Un vin pr\u00e9cis, lin\u00e9aire, fin, expressif et persistant. Quelle grande r\u00e9ussite, de m\u00e9moire, je n’ai jamais aussi bien go\u00fbt\u00e9 Trotte Vieille. Une tr\u00e8s grande r\u00e9ussite. 2029-2062 “<\/p>\n
\n“A striking and seriously impressive Trotte Vieille in 2022. Serious and strong aromatically, fully expressive with dark ripe bramble fruits, softly fragrant with gentle perfumed nuances. Bright and alive in the glass, has some tension, a sense of linearity and focus, with not much expansiveness at this point but the tannin detail and definition is exceptional with a soft creamy, chalky, powdery and firm texture. So refined, feels almost light in the mouth but there\u2019s concentration and power underneath with mouthwatering acidity keeping the sense of life. Extremely well constructed with poise and a sense of definition to the overall frame. Very precise and totally moreish in a brooding way. A very complete wine with so much to like. 100% new oak. 60% grand vin. 30hl\/ha. 3.70pH. First vintage fully operating in the new gravity fed cellar.”<\/p>\n
\n“Une s\u00e9duisante robe \u00e9clatante et d\u2019un pourpre sombre ouvre ce 2022 qui dompte avec brio son \u00e9levage en barriques neuves. Bien d\u00e9fini en nuances r\u00e9gliss\u00e9es, il enveloppe la bouche par des tanins cr\u00e9meux et une salinit\u00e9 insistante. Velout\u00e9 long remarquablement articul\u00e9. Garde sereine \u00e0 pr\u00e9voir.”<\/p>\n
\n“Almost opaque in color, the wine pops with black cherries, tobacco leaf, flowers, plums, smoke, and chocolate in the aromatics. The palate is silky, vibrant, and plush. The fruits are deep, intense, long, vibrant, and most importantly, pure. There is length, complexity, opulence, balance and a strong sensation of crushed stones, blackberries, chocolate, and plums in the finish you can taste and feel. TrotteVieille has been on an incredible roll lately. Perhaps, with the aid of their new cellars, this is the best vintage in the history of the estate! The wine blends 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.14.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 8 – September 27. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2055.”<\/p>\n
\n“My rough note on the 2022 Ch\u00e2teau Trotte Vieille included more than one expletive, and this beauty is straight-up gorgeous. Vivid blue fruits, violets, flowers, and chocolate all make an appearance on the nose, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered texture, perfect tannins, and nicely integrated oak. Based on 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it remains to be seen if this will ultimately match the magical 2020, but we’re not far off. This is a ch\u00e2teau readers need to have on their radar. (2023)”<\/p>\n
\n“Ch\u00e2teau Trotte Vieille, un vin soyeux, a\u00e9rien.
\nUn bouquet ouvert et d\u00e9tendu de fruits noirs, de rose de Damas, avec des notes d’encre et de r\u00e9glisse noire. Un vin soyeux, a\u00e9rien, qui remplit chaque recoin de la bouche et \u00e0 la finale pure et intense, longue et saline.”<\/p>\n
\n“50 % de cabernet franc et 5 % de cabernet-sauvignon extraordinaires. On aime son corps dense avec une bouche velout\u00e9e d\u2019un grand raffinement \u00e0 la une verticalit\u00e9 finale saline grandiose qui donne au vin une profondeur superbe.”<\/p>\n
\n“Nez fin, rac\u00e9, note florale, fruits rouges, bouche vive, tr\u00e8s harmonieux, trame serr\u00e9e, bien salivante, \u00e7a tient le vin en longueur, le c\u00f4t\u00e9 vif serre un peu les tanins, \u00e7a le tient en longueur, notes d\u2019\u00e9pices, poivre, tr\u00e8s long.”<\/p>\n
\n“The 2022 TrotteVieille is a hugely intriguing wine. The aromatics alone are wonderfully alluring. Sweet redtoned fruit, mint, blood orange, spice, licorice and rose petal infuse the 2022 with compelling inner perfume. Layered and complex, with tons of character. TrotteVieille is shaping up to be terrific. In 2022, TrotteVieille is not as bombastic as it has been in same recent years, and that is a positive.”<\/p>\n
\n“The 2022 TrotteVieille represents the first year when all the Cabernet Sauvignon entered the Grand Vin (5%). Picked from 2 to 27 September, it is aged entirely in new oak. It has an intense bouquet that is well-defined albeit coated with the oak at the moment – this will be subsumed with time. There is an underlying orange pith\/tangerine element lending nuance. The palate is very harmonious on the entry with pliant tannins. Very precise, silky smooth in texture thanks to the use of their new cuveries equipped with smaller vats. The acidity is nicely judged, opulent yet controlled with a touch of white pepper right on the finish. Very stylish.”<\/p>\n
\n“Apr\u00e8s un 2021 qui s’\u00e9tait distingu\u00e9 comme une des belles r\u00e9ussites du mill\u00e9sime, TrotteVieille, aid\u00e9 par ses nouvelles installations techniques, signe un remarquable 2022. La mati\u00e8re est musculeuse, soutenue par une d\u00e9finition tannique de haute pr\u00e9cision. De la pl\u00e9nitude en bouche, qui combine bien avec l’ar\u00eate acide, le tout s’\u00e9tirant jusqu’\u00e0 la finale salivante.”<\/p>\n
\n“Even with its location on the heart of the Asteries limestone plateau the colour is insanely dark, a clear imprint of the vintage. This is the second vintage in Trottevielle’s new cellars, and it’s totally gorgeous, rich and creamy in its delivery of blackberry and blueberry fruits, feels complete, compelx and balanced, with the chocolate and damson core given lift and finesse by a salted cracker and saffran finish. 100% new oak, beautiful wine from the team here, owned by Philippe Casteja.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
