The 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit

How far above still remains to be seen

This is excellent though a wine that will need at least a few years of patience

intense and quite sleek large-scaled flavors that deliver first-rate persistence on the backward and youthfully austere finish

Note that my suggested drinking window takes into account the magnum format

Etienne Sauzet, Chevalier Montrachet Blanc other_regions_italy The 2016 Trotte Vieille is(from 25+ year old vines that are situated on the very highest of the 4 terraces; aged in 50% new oak; 3 to 4 barrels are produced each year). A background whiff of exotic fruit can be found on the spicy and complex nose of essence of white peach, passion fruit, baked apple and acacia blossom aromas. There is good power and punch to the overtly mineral driven broad shouldered yet refined flavors that possess a borderline creamy mid palate that
