Château
Tronquoy
A predominantly Merlot vineyard
Located in the heart of Saint-Estèphe, Château Tronquoy is renowned for being one of the oldest and most beautiful terroirs of the appellation. Its vineyard covers 30 hectares in a single block around the château. Established on terrace n°3, its terroir is just as prestigious as the Grands Crus of the region.
In 2006, the Bouygues family discovered this historic terroir and launched a major programme to renovate the vineyard and farm buildings. Under the direction of Yves Delsol, the teams are committed to working this terroir of character with passion.
Since 2009, 1.8 ha of the vineyard, located on the clay-gravel plateau of the property, is planted with 2 white grape varieties: Semillon and Sauvignon Grey. The first vintage was produced in 2011. Harvested by hand in crates by successive sorting on the vine, vinified in barrels and matured on the lees for 6 to 9 months, the Tronquoy White reveals great finesse with a real aromatic personality of white flowers and citrus fruit
Involved since 2015 in environmentally friendly viticulture, the estate has been certified Organic farming certification since 2024. This decision is part of an approach aimed at producing high quality wines that respect the terroir and the people. A series of green actions carried out within the vineyard, planting ecological hedges, limiting mowing and installing beehives and nesting boxes, contribute to the balance of the ecosystems.
