About the Producer Château Trotte Vieille
Château Trotte Vieille, one of Saint Emilion's most famous Premier Grand Crus, is located on the appellation's eastern side. The vineyard lies on clay-limestone soil. Until the 1980s, the wines had a tendency to lack concentration and character, but their quality has been improving steadily since 1985. More rigorous selection, later harvests and aging in oak barrels for 18 months (with 90% renewed each year) have enabled Trotte Vieille's wines to join the ranks of the appellation's finest properties.
