Château Tronquoy, Saint-Estèphe 2019

A classic Saint-Estèphe, with real depth and concentration in fruit, joined by notes of tobacco and pencil-lead.

• The estate originates from the 18th century, but was obtained by its current owners, Martin and Olivier Bouygues in 2006.
• Saint-Estèphe is the most northerly region in the Médoc, and it known for its fresher, elegant styles of wine, due to the high levels of limestone in the soils.
• This wine spends 12 months ageing in French oak, which softens the strong tannic structure and adds complexity to the wine, such as notes of tobacco and resin.
• Majority of the plantings on the estate are Merlot (52%) followed by Cabernet Sauvignon (39%) and the rest a split between Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
• As the estate is under the same ownership as Château Montrose, they share the same winemaking team.
