Château Tronquoy-Lalande’s terroir, generally known as one of the finest, stretches seamlessly over 30 hectares (74 acres) of historic outcrops in the heart of the famous Saint-Estèphe appellation.<br> <br> The Merlot grape flourishes on the soil of the Tronquoy-Lalande terroir. 52% of the vineyard is planted with Merlot, a feature which distinguishes Tronquoy-Lalande from its neighbours, where Cabernet Sauvignon predominates.<br> <br> The soil comprises an 8-metre-deep layer of gravel and clay. The gravel ensures good drainage, while the clay retains water at depth which the vines can tap into as necessary.

    Enjoyable, Concentrated, quite a good depth

    Enjoyable, Concentrated, quite a good depth.

    From looks itself...dark ruby to garnet red, you know it's going to be a real treat.

    Superb pronounce nose...dark ripe fruits like black current, black plum, ripe berry is overwhelming. Second layer is herbal, liquorice and dried herbs.

    On the pallatte, medium body, tannin and good balance of acidity. Nice chewy and fruity flavour that linger on for a long finish.

    Truly enjoyable ????
