The palate is medium-bodied with superb clarity. It feels supple in the mouth, extremely pure and soaking up the new oak with ease. It has a lively orange sorbet and red fruit-driven finish that is silky smooth in texture, thanks to the fineness of the tannin.

The Merlot-dominant estate dates back to 1453 and has belonged to the Borie-Manoux négociant business since 1949. In 1955 it was rated as Premier Grand Cru Classé B in the official classification of Saint-Émilion wines, a status it has retained through every subsequent reiteration of the famed classification. The origins of the château's name lie in the 14th Century. Legend has it that a little old lady would walk, or trot, down to the crossing where passing stagecoaches from Bordeaux would make a stop. She would hassle travellers for any news from the city, and the people of Saint-Émilion nicknamed her \"la trotte vieille\", or \"the old trot\". Viticulture at Château Trotte Vieille was first officially recorded in a document dating from 1453, making Trotte Vieille one of the oldest in the appellation. Indeed, some of the vines in the 10-hectare (25-acre) walled vineyard are more than 140 years old. The dominant grape variety is Merlot, closely followed by Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. These vines are planted in red clay soils overlying limestone. Château Trotte Vieille's grand vin is Merlot-predominant, as is the second wine, La Vieille Dame de Trotte Vieille. Harvest is done by hand and the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled concrete vats. This fermentation lasts approximately 15-20 days in the case of the grand vin, after which the wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12-18 months. Borie-Manoux also owns two other properties in Bordeaux: Château Batailley in Pauillac and Château Beau-Site in Saint-Estèphe.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-13T12:56:09-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-03T14:58:16-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK0302","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Trotte Vieille","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":579899,"price_min":579899,"price_max":579899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42761519235210,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2015 | Château Trotte Vieille | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 18L","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":579899,"weight":293928,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/57_003fe181-1ace-4449-a8fc-d4d31525bf88.jpg?v=1675454325"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/57_003fe181-1ace-4449-a8fc-d4d31525bf88.jpg?v=1675454325","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2015 | Château Trotte Vieille | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 18L at CaskCartel.com","id":24147093520522,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/57_003fe181-1ace-4449-a8fc-d4d31525bf88.jpg?v=1675454325"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/57_003fe181-1ace-4449-a8fc-d4d31525bf88.jpg?v=1675454325","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2015 | Château Trotte Vieille | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 18L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm, toasty nose, very ripe but robust.
