The complexity and refinement of a Saint-Émilion wine
The estate
The origin of the name "Trottevieille" dates back several hundred years. Legend has it that near the château there was a stagecoach stop. Whenever a team halted, the old lady would trot down to catch up on the news, giving rise to the name Trotte Vieille. The Château Trotte Vieille is notable for owning a small parcel of vines that survived the terrible phylloxera outbreak during the second half of the 19th century.
The vineyard
Superbly located in the appellation Saint-Émilion and covering 10 hectares, the vineyard of Château Trotte Vieille sits on reddish soils over limestone bedrock.
Blend
Cabernet Franc (49 %), Merlot (49 %) and Cabernet Sauvignon (2 %).
