Viniou Reviews

Château Trapaud Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 1986 is a remarkable expression of the celebrated right bank in Bordeaux, France. The 1986 vintage was marked by a mix of early warmth, a cool summer, and an Indian summer which allowed the grapes ample time to ripen, resulting in wines with excellent structure and complexity. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines typically include a blend predominantly featuring Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and sometimes a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, although the specific blend is not detailed here.

Saint-Émilion, located in the Libournais sub-region, benefits from a temperate maritime climate which is moderated by the nearby Dordogne River. The soils in this area are a fertile mix of limestone, clay, and gravel, providing excellent drainage and contributing notably to the character of the wines. The history of winemaking in Saint-Émilion stretches back for centuries, with its wines gaining recognition for their elegant and velvety profiles, typically offering aromas of red fruits, plum, truffle, and an earthy minerality.

For pairing, this Château Trapaud wine would shine alongside classic dishes that complement its depth and aged character. Consider dishes such as duck confit, lamb au jus, or a rich beef stew. Regional specialities like entrecôte à la Bordelaise or a gratin dauphinois with garlic and cream would also harmonize beautifully. The mature tannins and balanced acidity in the wine would complement the richness and savouriness of such dishes.

When it comes to enjoying this vintage, proper serving temperature is crucial. Decant the wine for about an hour to allow it to open up and reveal its full spectrum of bouquet and flavour. Serve it at a slightly cool room temperature, ideally between 16-18°C, to appreciate its balance and finesse.
