Château Tronquoy Lalande, AOC Saint-Estèphe, 2012 Château Tronquoy Lalande

One of the historic estates in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, it has belonged to several families since the 18th century. In 2006, this estate and 30 hectares of vineyards was bought by Jean Texier, and by Martin and Olivier Bouygues. It owes its name to its first owner and is one of the best lands of the appellation. The vines prosper on a magnificent crop of gravel. This 2012 vintage will easily seduce with its blend consisting mainly of Merlot, completed with a good percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This is a perfect table wine and also good for laying down.
