Château Tronquoy (formerly Tronquoy-Lalande)
About Château Tronquoy
Château Tronquoy, formerly known as Tronquoy-Lalande, is a historic estate located in Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux. The winery has a strong association with Château Montrose, as both properties were purchased by the Bouygues brothers in 2006. The brothers invested a remarkable 10 million euros and three years into a massive renovation project to improve the quality of Château Tronquoy.
As a result of this steep investment, the estate has undergone significant improvements in winemaking. Stringent selection, sharing some winemaking capacities with Château Montrose, and significantly reducing yields have all played a part in improving the wine massively.
Today, Château Tronquoy continued to be looked after by the Bouygues brothers. It was officially renamed and relabeled as Château Tronquoy in 2022. Despite being classified as a Cru Bourgeois, the wine punches well above its weight and has become an exceptional value for wine lovers.
