Château Trottevieille
A lease contract written in Gascon on parchment records Château TrotteVieille as early as the 15th century—within Saint‑Émilion, this Premier Grand Cru Classé is history you can visit.
After a long succession of owners, Marcel Borie purchased the estate in 1947, and since the first classification in 1955 it has held its Premier Grand Cru rank. The 12‑hectare vineyard sits on a south‑west facing slope near Troplong‑Mondot, defined by 30–40 cm of clay over limestone. A rare jewel lies within: a Cabernet Franc plot planted in 1868, dating from before the phylloxera crisis. Farmed under agriculture raisonnée, the château has been HVE certified since 1 April 2021; pruning follows the Poussard method and harvesting is by hand.
Each parcel is vinified separately, often after a short cold soak, and the grand vin is aged 18–24 months exclusively in new French oak. The intent is simple: traceability and precision, so terroir—not technique—sets the tone.Château Trottevieille
