Tasting notes
A blend of 80% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Carménère aged 16 months in 40% new French oak, the 2023 Château Trianon offers juicy black cherries, some currant, spice, and leathery nuances. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a round, nicely balanced mouthfeel and a good finish. Drink this well-made, enjoyable 2023 over the coming 7-8 years. Drink 2026-2033.

The 2023 Trianon is a pretty, open-knit Saint-Émilion to drink now and over the next decade. Crushed flowers, mint, iron, white pepper, herbs and orange peel are nicely lifted in the glass. Delicate and floral, Trianon shows the more delicate side of the appellation.
Vanilla, pastry, cream, spiced plums and berries on the nose. Medium-bodied with some wood tannins showing at the end, alongside a finish of juicy berries, plums and mocha. A bit woody, but it should find better integration after a year or two. Drink in 2028.
Espresso, mint, bright red fruits, and licorice show in the perfume. Medium-bodied, vibrant, fresh, and forward, the finish is all about the black-raspberries, dipped in chocolate that you find from the mid-palate, through to the finish.
