Château Tronquoy Lalande Tinto

Description

This Tronquey Lalande is a delightfully charming example of Bordeaux’s elegance, even in its youth. The Merlot, predictably exuberant, weaves seamlessly with the Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering a wine brimming with concentration. A touch of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc adds a welcome freshness and complexity, quite remarkable considering its age. Benefitting from a cool winter and sun-drenched spring, the growers achieved an early budburst, resulting in a remarkably even ripening and a terroir expression that’s particularly pronounced. Those gravelly soils, with their exceptional drainage, play a crucial role in the wine’s quality. The tasting notes reveal a wine of considerable maturity – smooth tannins and a palpable sense of power that will surely appeal to any discerning palate. Without a doubt, this Tronquey Lalande is a wine destined for cellaring, with a truly remarkable ageing potential. Wonderful alongside a good grilled steak or roasted lamb.
