Passionated for its terroir, Merlot and great wines, the Trocard family has been managing for 15 generations a unique vineyard in the heart of the Libournais wine area (Saint-Emilion, Pomerol ...) since 1620. Composed of a few hectares in the 17th century, the family owned vineyard has been considerably extended under the initiative of Jean ... Trocard, who gave free rein to his talents as a great winemaker in 1945. Jean-Louis Trocard, his son, took over the estate in 1976 with his wife Elisabeth and has pursued the increase of the vineyard, from a surface area of 20 hectares of vines to 90 hectares. In love with Merlot, Jean-Louis Trocard magnifies the "king" grape variety of the right bank of Bordeaux on beautiful soils of the Pomerol, Lalande de Pomerol, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Lussac and Saint Emilion appellations ... He has created one of the first 100% merlot Bordeaux Supérieur wines : Chateau Trocard Monrepos. In 2002, Jean-Louis and Elisabeth are joined by their children : Marie and Benoît. The latter adds a new exceptionnal estate : Clos Dubreuil (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). He brings new practices to the vines as in the vat house which made Trocard wines very famous abroad. Their wines are known for their wonderful concentration and large smoothness. Three generations (Jean 93 years-old, Jean-Louis 63 and Benoît 36) welcome you with pleasure at their familiy owned estate. They pass on their know-how wit passion and simplicity on their 14 estates, which represent in 2015 100 hectares of vines on six appellations. see more
