The most powerful wine in the Mouiex cellars this year is the 2025 Trotanoy. Offering up aromas of ripe black fruits, fruitcake and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak, it's full-bodied, layered and muscular, with plenty of ripe tannin and sweet fruit but good underlying energy, too. This will require some patience.

The 2025 Trotanoy was picked September 1 to 19 and matured in 50% new oak. This is quite powerful on the nose, almost pastille-like purity with black cherries and cassis scents, although I would not say it belongs in the top drawer of aromatics from this estate. The palate is very smooth thanks to its cashmere tannins. Perfectly judged acidity, very poised, very harmonious and deep towards the finish, this Pomerol finishes on a real high and delivers exactly what you want from one of the best Pomerol estates. The longer you stay with it, the more it seduces.

Clean and fresh aromatics – perfumed black fruit. Chewy and ripe, broad and filling but juicy and charming at the same time. It’s quite pent up, definitely coiled and knitted down but there’s such an appealing softness to this expression – definitely not overextacted but harnessing the ripeness of the fruit and delivering an intense, concentrated wine without the density or plushness of a hot vintage. Plums, blackcurrants and cherries, wet stones, oyster shell and a salty liquorice finish. Yum. Captivating.
