2016 Château Tronquoy-Lalande, Cru Bourgeois St-Estèphe

This is everything we want from outstanding claret. Notes of plum and cassis on the nose, with a floral note and plenty of sea spray. The palate is structured yet balanced, with an impressive core of fruit. Just starting to open up and will last for years.

Tasting notes

The 2016 Tronquoy-Lalande is a brilliant wine. Wafting from the glass with scents of cassis, dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a deep and multidimensional core, lively acids and beautifully ripe tannins. Suave and elegant, this young, impeccably balanced classic will delight Médoc purists, but it is far from austere today and will offer a remarkably broad drinking window.
