Premier Grand Cru Classé

The 2016 Trotte Vieille has an intense bouquet. However, it opens up nicely in the glass and reveals nuances such as orange blossom and incense aromas over time. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and well-balanced freshness, and I feel that the oak here works well with the fruit. It has a nice grainy texture, great depth and maintains its precision until the finish. This is a strong successor to the 2015 Trotte Vieille.
