This superb Saint-Estèphe estate is overseen by Hervé Berland, who worked for many years for the legendary Mouton Rothschild. An echo of that estate’s greatness can clearly be seen in the wood smoke aromas, smooth black fruit and long elegant finish.

Formerly in the telecommunications industry, the Bouygues brothers bought both Saint-Estèphe properties, Château Tronquoy-Lalande and Second Growth Château Montrose, in 2006. Both underwent massive renovation (10 million Euros was spent on Tronquoy-Lalande alone) and the investment has certainly made a difference. This is the 7-year-old 2014 from Tronquoy-Lalande – a sleeper of a vintage that is just beginning to show at its best. It was made by the same team as the high profile Château Montrose, all overseen today by Hervé Berland. Critic Jane Anson calls Tronquoy's wines "“one of the most reliable buys of the appellation.” A fine claret, delicious now, but one that will continue to age gracefully. Perfect with a fine ‘rosbif’ dinner.
