A return to the EP market and a cobalt rebranding to simply “Tronquoy” (dropping the Lalande). As we've been saying for several years, this St Estephe property owned by the Bouygues family and run by the team at Montrose is making superb wines, and for the time being, they still offer excellent value for money. The 2022 is a blue-blooded offering with a distinctly Cabernet character. Ripe and aromatic, this is packed with dark, rich and enveloping fruit, framed by ripe, well-judged tannins. A very attractive wine, which will give lots of mid-term drinking pleasure. 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot.
The wine growing estate is one of the oldest in the Saint-Estèphe region, originally built for the Tronquoy family in the 18th century. It saw many owners until 1968 when it was bought by Jean and Arlette Textier and run for 40 years.
Martin and Olivier Bouygues purchased the property in 2006 with a vision to bring it into the modern era. They started a large-scale renovation including the construction of a great barrel hall and a new vat house. Today, the estate has become the latest success story to emanate from Saint-Estèphe.
