2017 Tronquoy Lalande 6 Pack

A real gem in the heart of one of the finest vineyards in Saint-Estèphe ! Château Tronquoy-Lalande’s terroir, generally known as one of the finest, stretches seamlessly over 30 hectares (74 acres) of historic outcrops in the heart of the famous Saint-Estèphe appellation. https://youtu.be/LOWK2VxdUx4 The weather conditions for the 2017 vintage were quite unusual. The year started with a mild and dry winter, marked by only 2 weeks of cold at the end of January. The temperatures remained mild in the spring, allowing uniform bud burst as from 29 March. At this stage an early vintage seemed likely, but the growth cycle slowed down at the end of April under the influence of cooler temperatures. The Gironde estuary then played its essential role of thermal regulator during the 3 consecutive days of frost, which spared our vineyard. The summer-like conditions in May favoured early, quick and uniform flowering for the 4 grape varieties. Summer was dry and temperate, marked by a heatwave from 19 to 23 June. The first signs of veraison appeared around 17 July. The few rainy spells in September encouraged good development of ripeness for the 4 grape varieties. We harvested from 12 September to 3 October. Picking within the plots at perfect ripeness allowed us to isolate 15 batches representative of our terroirs, which will make up the wealth of our blends. Each batch underwent taylor made vinification to reveal the best of our wine signature.
