Tasting Notes
Powerful yet elegant nose of floral and crushed berry notes. Hints of caramel and vanilla. The palate is elegant, juicy, and offers aromas that match the nose plus hints of licorice, almonds, and chocolate. Good length, with well-integrated tannins.
History
Château Trianon was named in honor of the luxurious Versailles Palace. In the 19th century, Trianon was a country retreat surrounded by meadows and vines. Until 1952, less than 10 acres of vines were used to make wine. This was subsequently increased to 6.5 hectares (16 acres). Legendary winemaker & ex-owner of Cheval Blanc Dominique Herbrard purchased the estate and has dedicated his efforts to maximizing it’s potential.
