2014 Chateau Trotte Vieille Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 92

The 2014 Trottevieille has a fragrant bouquet, quite understated at first and building with brambly red berry fruit, undergrowth and faint cedar-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine acidity and a gentle, caressing finish that is silky smooth. This is a very refined Trottevieille, one that is far less rustic than in the past, the persistence on the finish suggesting that it should age in consummate style. This is a classy offering from the Casteja family. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
