95-97/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs quite a lot of swirling to coax out notes of black cherries, raspberry coulis, and boysenberries, leading to hints of cedar chest, rose oil, sassafras, and anise. The light to medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy delivering ripe, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the mineral laced red berry flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Stunning!

The 2024 Trotte Vieille was picked from 20 September to 5 October and matured entirely in new oak, with a small proportion aged in amphora. It has a lovely bouquet with redcurrant and black plum scents that gain amplitude with aeration. Not as intense as the impressive '22, but it has plenty of charm. The palate is medium-bodied with fluid tannins that lend a silky texture. The oak is well-judged and integrated, gaining weight towards the latter half. The finish is composed with just the right amount of piquancy. This is a delightful Saint-Émilion that will provide a great deal of pleasure.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Concentrated, medium intensity ruby red colour. On the opening this is restrained, elegant, pared back, with well delivered juice that just slowly infuses the palate with lift and sinewed salinity; This is a well balanced and confident wine, great quality. 100% new oak, 3.45ph. Tasted twice. Axel Marchal and Thomas Duclos consultants.

Ideally situated on the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, this estate consistently produces wines of great finesse without sacrificing body, even in challenging vintages. The 2024 Trotte Vieille is no exception, offering up bright aromas of licorice, pencil shavings, dark berries and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, layered and impeccably balanced, it offers notable depth at the core, a juicy, fleshy mid-palate and a long, ethereal finish marked by chalky dry extract. The Cabernet Franc imparts a linear, ethereal structure, while the Merlotharvested at optimal ripenesscontributes roundness and texture, seamlessly enrobing the wines core. This is a blend of 56% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon.
