The 2009 L’Esperance de Trotanoy is a somewhat superficial but attractive wine with plenty of black cherries and damp earth as well as hints of graphite and spice. It should drink well for up to a decade.
For the first time at Trotanoy, 500 cases of a second wine were produced from 100% Merlot from a parcel that is often excluded from the final blend.
Honestly not a very good name'. First vintage of this occasional second wine. Their second wine policy: It’s very tricky to have a wine made just from vines on the edge of the vineyard but in 2009 there were two parcels that didn't make it – more an accident. None made in 2011, maybe an Espérance 2010. Gorgeous nose. Very opulent and creamy! Long. Rich. So hedonistic. Just slightly green/dry on finish.
