Château Tronquoy has a vineyard spanning 30 hectares in the heart of Saint-Estèphe. The origins of the estate date back to the 18th century but, after several different owners, it was acquired by Martin and Olivier Bouygues in 2006.
Today it shares much inspiration and winemaking with Château Montrose although it is run as a separate entity. Unlike its neighbours, 52% of the vineyard is planted with Merlot: Cabernet Sauvignon only accounts for 39%, followed by Petit Verdot (6%) and Cabernet Franc (3%). The planting density is 9000 vines per hectare.
