Saint Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé B
Chateau Trotte
Vieille is one of the most beautiful castles situated on the plateau of St. Emilion
(no so far from Ch. Troplong Mondot) with a vineyard of 12ha. It belongs to the
merchant Borie-Manou (Castéja family). The name comes from (according to a
legend) an old lady (vieille) who passed by the estate every day (en
trottinant) to hear the daily rumors. Philippe Castéja is now the director. The
plantings are very original: 50% merlot and 50% cabernet franc. The cru is very
classic and powerful in its youth. The wine
has a beautiful, fresh, pure and fruity style with a good storage
potential.
