The wine
Château Tronquoy-Lalande’s second wine is vinified with the same care and attention to detail that goes into making the flagship cuvée. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Petit Verdot is fresh and beautifully balanced. Fruit, pepper and spice aromas from the elevage make this a wine enjoyable even in its youth.
About the Producer Tronquoy de Sainte-Anne
Château Tronquoy-Lalande has an admirably well-situated vineyard on gravelly hilltops facing the Gironde estuary. Located near Montrose in Saint-Estèphe, it was bought by Olivier and Martin Bouygues a few months after the second growth. The story goes that Melissa Bouygues fell under the spell of the Château's architecture, and that's why the family bought it. Tronquoy-Lalande could have been swallowed up by Montrose, but that didn't happen. It continues to develop its own style, and proves itself from year to year as one of the Médoc's finest crus bourgeois. Since 2012, the château has been run by Hervé Berland from Mouton-Rothschild.
