The 2024 Trotte Vieille is a potent, explosive wine. An exotic mélange of black fruit, new leather, chocolate, espresso, menthol and licorice literally stains the palate. As always, Trotte Vieille is such a distinctive wine. The finish is perhaps a touch light. Then again, this is 2024. Today, Trotte Vieille comes across as raw and not totally put together, but its pedigree and potential are undeniably present.

Concentrated, medium intensity ruby red colour. On the opening this is restrained, elegant, pared back, with well delivered juice that just slowly infuses the palate with lift and sinewed salinity; This is a well balanced and confident wine, great quality. 100% new oak, 3.45ph. Tasted twice. Axel Marchal and Thomas Duclos consultants. Drinking range: 2029 - 2040 Rating: 93 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2025)
The 2024 Trotte Vieille was picked from 20 September to 5 October and matured entirely in new oak, with a small proportion aged in amphora. It has a lovely bouquet with redcurrant and black plum scents that gain amplitude with aeration. Not as intense as the impressive '22, but it has plenty of charm. The palate is medium-bodied with fluid tannins that lend a silky texture. The oak is well-judged and integrated, gaining weight towards the latter half. The finish is composed with just the right amount of piquancy. This is a delightful Saint-Émilion that will provide a great deal of pleasure. Drinking range: 2030 - 2050 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2025)
56 CF 41 M 3 CS 14% Powerful black fruit aromas with good spice and violet concentration, some earthy complexity and depth. Juicy fruit flavours with creaminess and spice from the oak (100% new, although you would not know it). Great freshness and depth on the long finish with fine tannins and a very lively fruity acidity. Really terrific wine this vintage. Rating: 93 Rod Smith MW, www.timatkin.com (Apr 2025)
