Medium bodied, with more easy drinking charm than weight or density. Freshness combined with elegance, plums earth and truffle. Another year or two might add a bit more depth, but this is a good, rather than great vintage here. 5,476 Views Tasted Mar 19, 2017Not as silky, lush and polished as I would like, still, the cocoa, floral, truffle and plum nose is a treat. The wine finishes with fresh cherries, plum and dark chocolate. There is no hurry to drink this and with luck, it could improve. 4,230 Views Tasted Nov 30, 2014 |
When to Drink Chateau Trotanoy, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Trotanoy is much better with at least 12-15 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Trotanoy offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 15-50 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Trotanoy with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Trotanoy is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Trotanoy is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau Trotanoy is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
