"Loaded with notes of blackcurrant and hints of spring flowers, as well as beautiful minerality, this revelation of the vintage is a tasty, medium- to full-bodied Saint-Estèphe to enjoy now and over the next 10-12 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) - Delivery in wooden case for orders delivered in France of 12 bottles of this wine.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

After many years at Château Mouton-Rothschild, Hervé Berland is now in charge of the two properties acquired by Martin and Olivier Bouygues. Less well known than Montrose, Château Tronquoy Lalande, a discreet 18-hectare estate in Saint-Estèphe, is one of the oldest vineyards in the appellation. The wines produced here are splendid.

About the domain :

Martin and Olivier Bouygues acquired Tronquoy-Lalande in 2006, a few months after buying Château Montrose, located a stone's throw away. This very old Saint-Estèphe cru retains its autonomy and style. The management of the château, like that of Montrose, was taken over in 2012 by Hervé Berland. Note the recent production of a beautifully crafted, round and seductive white. They represent excellent bargains.
