The 2025 Trotte Vieille soars out of the glass. Freshly cut flowers, mocha, dried herbs, menthol and espresso meld into a core of rich, deeply layered dark fruit. Trotte Vieille is a rare Saint-Émilion that features Cabernet Franc. All of that intensely floral/savory character (and the matching structure) is in evidence today. The 2025 builds beautifully in the glass, revealing myriad dimensions of intensity. Blue-toned fruit, gravel, cloves, lavender, licorice and espresso linger. The only question is how long the 2025 is going to need.
Intense aromas of flowers, citrus, espresso, black plums, black cherries, and assorted herbs are all over the place. The palate is rich, concentrated, lushly-textured, lifted, finishing with layers of silky, chocolate-covered black with red fruits, cinnamon, licorice, espresso, and a hint of mint. The wine blends 57% Cabernet Franc, and 42% Merlot. 14% ABV. The harvest took place September 4 - September 19. The wine is aging in 100% new French oak barrels. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2028-2060.
The 2025 Trotte Vieille shows exceptional potential, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe blueberries, violets, subtle spices and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep, concentrated and refined, with lively acids, lovely purity and a long, penetrating finish. This limestone terroir on Saint-Emilion's plateau is really showing its pedigree, and it has produced one of the highlights of the vintage.
