Château Tronquoy-Lalande Saint-Estèphe 2012 375ml

57% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Château Tronquoy-Lalande, situated in the heart of the appellation, is one of the oldest Saint-Estèphe wines. It takes its name from François Tronquoy, the estate's first owner, and the place-name La Lande, meaning the heath, on which the Château’s historic vineyard is planted.

The result of a great deal of hard work and a certain degree of risk-taking at harvest-time, 2012 ranks among the estate's excellent vintages in recent years.The aspect is dense, dark red. On the nose, we have some notes of refined and delicate oak, evolving towards red fruit and spice. The palate is soft, with a round attack. Great balance and elegance on the mid-palate. Present fruit and supple tannins give the wine body and density.
