Chateau Trottevieille, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2022 La Soeur Cadette grilled herbs and loads ofA Premier Grand Cru Classe B of Saint Emilion on the limestone plateau, with an old pre phylloxera Cabernet Franc parcel. The 2022 is the most structured and impressive Trottevieille in memory full bodied yet compact, with cassis, dark cherry and crushed stone over a fine velvet texture and intense, focused finish. James Suckling 98 points.
