Aromas of blackberries, licorice and spices. Full-bodied, dense and layered. Shows the structure and muscle of this estate. Needs time to soften and come together. Serious. Try in 2021.

While a step back from the sensational looking 2016, the 2015 Tronquoy Lalande is nevertheless a smokin’ good bottle of wine. Plums, graphite, earth and smoked herb notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, plump, rounded 2015 that’s a huge success for the northern Médoc in 2015. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following two decades.

With the same winemaking team as Château Montrose, this ripe, dense wine has something of the same approach to the rich tannins and concentrated black fruit. This powerful wine has a dry, age-worthy character as well as generous fruit that keeps a crisp, succulent character. It will be best from 2024.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Direct-imported at a SUPERB price (normally $55+!), this bottling from the same winemaking team as Chateau Montrose is an astounding value. Only 15 cases! We tasted this back in November and bought every bottle we could, unfortunately there was not much to be had. The same ownership and winemaking team as Chateau Montrose as well as the same exceptional terroir in Saint Estephe are the reasons this wine is a ridiculous value. This is a very serious wine that will award patience and drink well for a decade or more. Yes...it's only $40!
About the Producer
Château Tronquoy-Lalande, situated in the heart of the appellation, is one of the oldest Saint-Estèphe wines. The winegrowing estate was formed in the 18th century around the remarkable chateau built for the Tronquoy family on a design by Victor Louis, the architect of the Grand Theatre in Bordeaux. The estate went through several different owners until 1968, when it was bought by Jean Texier and his wife Arlette Castéja-Texier. She would run the estate for 40 years. In 2006, Martin and Olivier Bouygues discovered this little gem, historically reputed for having one of the finest terroirs in Saint-Estèphe.
