Having been owned by the multiple 100-point winemaking family of Chateau Montrose since 2006, this estate in the heart of Saint Estèphe, has been on an unbeatable trajectory.
Chateau Tronquoy, at the time Tronquoy-Lalande, came to life in 1791 as one of the very first vineyards in Saint Estèphe. Since it began, it has followed the spirit of founder, Francois de Tronquoy, who through a commitment to quality via constantly questioning the norm and pursing vivacity, was a Bordeaux visionary.
What the critics say:
"Another big, dark St.-Estèphe, but in spite of the rich body and some perceptible alcohol, there is also a cool, minty note. Slightly sweet finish in spite of all the tannins. Spice comes through at the end."
"Just as expressive from bottle as it was from barrel, the 2014 Tronquoy-Lalande is superb. Black cherry, plum, gravel, smoke, savory herbs, licorice and expressive floral notes abound in a rich, deeply textured Saint-Estèphe that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The plush, textured finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Drink this pliant, expressive Saint-Estèphe over the next 15-20 years or more. This is a stellar showing. The blend is 56 % Merlot, 37 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6 % Petit Verdot and 1 % Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times."
