Esperance de Trotanoy 2021, from Pomerol, shows a deep, clear and compact ruby colour. On the nose it offers an aromatic range of ripe fruit, with notes of cherry and small red berries, accompanied by floral hints and a background of light spices. The intensity is well balanced, without exuberance, and the aromas evolve with aeration, revealing a balance between the fruity component and earthier echoes. The olfactory progression invites a measured and attentive tasting.

On the palate it confirms a harmonious texture, with present but well-integrated tannins and a structure that supports the drink without weighing it down. Freshness accompanies the persistence, offering an elegant, lengthy finish. Small mineral notes emerge towards the close, contributing to the complexity. It is suitable to enjoy now with dishes based on red meats and aged cheeses, or to be cellared a few years to allow further harmonisation. Serving temperature around 16–18 °C; a large glass is recommended to appreciate its complexity.
The winery

Pomerol – Winery in Bordeaux (Libournais, Rive Droite)

Discover the story and wines of Pomerol.

Small, prestigious appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, renowned for its red wines based primarily on Merlot and for soils rich in iron oxides (the so-called "crasse de fer").
Region: Bordeaux (Libournais, Rive Droite)
Country: Francia
Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec (Pressac), Petit Verdot
Appellation exclusively dedicated to red wines. Predominantly Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. Distinctive soils with "crasse de fer" that influence structure and aroma. A small but highly prestigious appellation with no official classification of crus.
Winery history
Wine region with ancient roots: vineyards have been present since Roman times, with significant development in the Middle Ages through the activity of local religious orders. Pomerol's modern reputation was consolidated between the 19th and 20th centuries; the area has been recognized as a distinct appellation and is included in the AOC regulations established in France.
Production philosophy
Production centered on terroir and on enhancing small parcels: many producers run relatively small estates, favoring practices that prioritize grape quality and the expression of the soil rather than high yields or formal classifications.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Libournais near the River Isle, Pomerol is a plateau with heterogeneous soils: clays mixed with gravel and sand, and a subsoil rich in iron oxides. Its boundaries include the Barbanne stream to the north, and it lies adjacent to Saint-Émilion and Libourne.
