A blend of 55% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Tronquoy-Lalande races out of the glass with bright, exuberant scents of Morello cherries, mulberries, warm plums and fresh blackcurrants plus touches of allspice, candied violets and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with expressive black and red fruits plus loads of floral accents and a wonderfully plush texture, finishing long and fragrant.

The 2017 Tronquoy-Lalande is soft, easygoing and quite supple - all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking over the next handful of years. This Merlot-based Saint-Estèphe is all about elegance, refinement and class. The 2017 remains quite laid back in style, but it is a very pretty wine with impeccable balance and tons of sheer appeal.

The 2017 Tronquoy-Lalande, picked from 12 September to 3 October, has a pleasant bouquet of blackberry, wild hedgerow and punnets of strawberries. It is not complex but the purity of fruit is commendable. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins: mulberry, black plum, and a pinch of sea salt. A fleshy finish maybe just lacks the edge that a greater growing season might have bestowed. Drink over the next decade. Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 Rating: 89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2020)

Château Tronquoy

Since being established in 1791, Chateau Tronquoy (they dropped the Lalande in 2018) was one of the very first vineyards of the Saint Estephe appellation. From the outset aits founder was a proudly independent spirit, and François Tronquoy refused to take part in the 1855 classification.
Today this exceptional vineyard runs to 30 hectares in a single block, running down to the banks of the Gironde estuary. It is a terroir hat proudly abuts some of the greatest properties in the area, sited on the celebrated Terrace 3 - which also has some of Cos d'Estournel's vines, Some of Lafite's vineyards and of course 'big brother' Chateau Montrose's vines. They have developed a very thoughtful approach to their work in the vineyard, and the estate was certified organic from the 2024 vintage onwards. This is just part of their strong commitment to biodiversity which has seen the development of 800 meters of hedgerows, 100 new birdhouses, 100 bat shelters and 6 beehives.
The estate is owned and the wine is produced by the same team that is responsible for Chateau Montrose.
