Domain: L'Espérance de Trotanoy

The vineyard was created in the middle of the 17th century by the Fontemoing family, a négociant in Libourne and owner of several properties, including Château Canon. The Giraud family succeeded him and by the end of the century, the wine was known as “Pomerol-Giraud Cru de Trotanoy”. In the 19th century, the domain spanned 25 hectares, but a series of sales and family successions saw this surface area half by the end of the 1920s. After the war, Trotanoy was sold to the Pecresse family, then, in 1953, to Jean-Pierre Moueix.
