Château Trotte Vieille is a prestigious Bordeaux estate ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé B in Saint-Émilion, a distinction it has held since 1955. The estate has been owned by the Casteja family since 1950 and spans 33 hectares, situated entirely on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. The vineyard is planted to 50% old-vine Cabernet Franc, with some vines as old as 140 years, 46% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. These mature vines contribute exceptional depth, structure, and complexity to the wines, which are further enhanced by ageing in 100% new oak barrels, allowing the wines to develop richness and finesse over time. Within the vineyard, approximately 1,000 pre-phylloxera vines are preserved, primarily used in the estate’s first wine, with one barrel kept for a special, limited bottling. Seventy percent of the estate’s production is bottled as the flagship first wine, while the remaining 30% is released under the second label, La Vieille Dame de Trottevieille, offering collectors and investors a high-quality alternative entry point into the estate’s portfolio. Château Trotte Vieille’s combination of historic classification, exceptional terroir, and meticulous winemaking makes it a highly sought-after estate for buyers and investors seeking Bordeaux wines with long-term ageing potential and significant investment value.
