Before the vintage 2022, this wine was labelled 'Tronquoy-Lalande'.
Award tasting note: (2011 vintage) "Une robe rubis profonde avec de petits reflets cuivrés. Un nez très épicé dans lequel scintille de la groseille et des mûres. A l'attaque c'est suave et presque retenu pour exploser en bouche sur une ribambelle de fruits noirs, de cannelle, de réglisse et autres arômes grillés. C'est puissant mais il se livre petit à petit en bouche. La maturité arrive. Servir sur une côte de bœuf aux sarments." - 4 Star, 1001 Degustations

- Vintage Notes

This vintage was marked by the lack of rainfall. Spring was unusually dry with almost summer like growing conditions. Flowering was rather early, homogeneous, and fast. Summer was quite cool overall, particularly June and July. June 26 and 27 were the only days where the temperature climbed up to 40°C. This excessive heat caused scalding to some important bunches. The veraison was rather slow, and nevertheless the harvest was untimely. The hailstorm of September 1st touched partially the vineyard, but did not affect the quantity nor the quality of the harvest. The gravel soil of Tronquoy-Lalande, with its high amount of clay, conserved the hydraulic alimentation - a great benefit to the vineyard.

Vintage quality: Poor
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2011 Bordeaux vintage was generally poor in comparison to the brilliant 2010 and 2009.
The weather throughout the growing season was, frankly, freakish. Both the winter and spring were dry with the latter becoming unnervingly hot in places, prompting an extremely ear...
