Château Trotte Vieille

Situated below Château Troplong Mondot, the name of the estate is suggested to derive from la trotte vieille (English: old trotting lady), invoking a story of an elderly woman who once regularly trotted by nearby roads.

The vineyard area extends 10 hectares (25 acres) with a grape variety distribution of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Of the Grand vin, Château Trotte Vieille, and the second wine, La Vieille Dame de Trotte Vieille, there is a total annual production of 3,000 cases.
