1964 Château Trotanoy  (Pomerol) 94 Much better than the bottle tasted earlier this year, this was gorgeous. The perfume, with its notes of roses, truffles, dark cocoa, truffle and cherries was on fire. On the palate, the wine offered a rich, round, lush wave of earthy cherries, plums, tobacco and very dark chocolate. Just great. I am happy to have one more bottle remaining in my cellar.

The nose was majestic, but this classicly styled wine seems to have had better days. I have another bottle in my cellar, so perhaps it will be better.

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.
