In a few words ...
The year 2012 was punctuated by the vagaries of the weather. Winter was dry, especially in the first quarter. January temperatures were very mild, while February was particularly cold. Spring was rainy. Cool, damp weather conditions slowed vine growth. Flowering was slow and spread over the first three weeks of June, causing some heterogeneity on the vines. Rigorous work in the vineyard ensured that the vines were in the best possible condition for the development of the grapes. At the end of July, summer finally set in. August was particularly sunny and very dry, with several very hot days. Mid-veraison came a little late, around August 17. The fine weather continued into September, leading to fears that berry ripening would stall. Rain finally arrived on September 22, kick-starting the ripening cycle, a slow and gentle process that was closely monitored until the end of the season. Harvesting began on September 27 with the Merlot. The uneven ripeness of the grapes in the different plots requires a very precise and meticulous picking plan. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from October 10 to 19, at full ripeness and in perfect health, despite the rainy spells. The berries were very ripe, and the musts were extremely rich, with lovely fruit and intense color. Maceration was exceptionally long (26 to 27 days), as the very thick skins of the Merlot and Cabernet grapes required more time to extract the quintessence of this vintage. At the price of constant effort and measured risk-taking at harvest time, 2012 ranks among the estate's excellent vintages of recent years.

Château Tronquoy Lalande 2015 is a generous, harmonious Saint-Estèphe. Its rich bouquet reveals notes of ripe black fruit, plum and cassis, enhanced by spicy, woody touches. On the palate, the structure is full-bodied, with tannins that are assertive but already mellow thanks to the sunny vintage. The long, persistent finish reveals aromatic complexity. A perfect match for tournedos Rossini, rack of lamb or game stew.

On the nose, notes of black fruits such as blackberry and black cherry blend harmoniously with accents of tobacco, leather and licorice. These rich aromas prepare the palate for a memorable drinking experience. On the palate, the structure is impeccable, with firm but polished tannins offering a solid foundation.

A crimson color with ruby highlights. A fine, intense, complex nose with fragrances of cedar, eucalyptus, blackcurrant and hints of undergrowth. Precise, ample and remarkably well-balanced on the palate. A great Saint-Estèphe wine, all said and done.
The blend gives pride of place to Merlot:
Merlot 67%,
Cabernet-franc 20%,
Malbec 1%,
Petit-Verdot 12%.
All finesse and elegance! Remarkable

A powerful Saint-Estèphe from a sun-drenched vintage that tastes very well today but will keep for several more years in the cellar.

Very good.
It's not an original wine, but it's always nice to be able to rely on a safe bet.

A velvety Saint-Estèphe that tastes very well today, with tannins that have already melted.
