Château Tronquoy-Lalande 2010
Saint-Estèphe AOC

This superb Saint Estèphe estate is overseen by Hervé Berland, who worked for many years for the legendary Mouton Rothschild. An echo of that estate’s greatness can clearly be seen in the wood smoke aromas, smooth black fruit and long elegant finish.

The Wine
Formerly in the telecommunications industry, the Bouygues brothers bought both Saint Estèphe properties, Château Tronquoy Lalande and Second Growth Château Montrose, in 2006. Both underwent massive renovation (10 million Euros was spent on Tronquoy Lalande alone) and the investment has certainly made a difference. This is the mature 2010 from Tronquoy Lalande – a 5-Star year. Parker calls this wine a “real sleeper of the vintage” with “stunning richness”. It was made by the same team as the higher profile Château Montrose, all overseen today by Hervé Berland, who worked for many years with Mouton Rothschild.
