Located to the north of Saint-Emilion, "Clos Trimoulet" is a family estate
on which the ancestral skills have been handed down over five generations
now. Guy Appollot and his two sons have managed to preseve this heritage,
whilst combining it with the most modern of techniques.
The estate is divided into several plots of vines with clay and sandy soils
which give the wine structure, longevity and finesse. The grapes are picked
when they are perfectly ripe and undergo a long vatting process which
extracts as many tannins as possible. The result is that "Clos Trimoulet" is
an excellent wine for laying down. All the production is bottled on the
estate after 18 months of maturing in oak barrels. This rich, generous Grand
Cru has lots of colour, is dense and firm in the mouth and has a
characteristic nose of ripe red fruit, spices and humus. Most remarkable
development. Try the excellent Montagne-Saint-Emilion Château
Chevalier-Saint-Georges, made and matured like the Clos Trimoulet. The
orientation of the estate and its essentially clay soils produce a wine with
a different character and personality, fleshy and distinctive and offering
remarkable value (and pleasure) for money.
