History and anecdotes
In the 18th century, the Giraud family, royal broker in Libourne, acquired this renowned cru whose name meant “too anoia” or “too boring” (when working the land) in old French. They decided to change the estate name to “Trotanoy”. Château Trotanoy was bought by the firm Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1953, since then managers.
