Benoit Trocard (37) joined the family estate over 10 years ago and is now the 15th generation of the Trocard family to make wine. In 2009, he took over his father’s 86-acre estate: Château Trocard. Benoit studied winemaking all over the world including a stint in Australia. His goal is to make Bordeaux wines approachable and ready to drink.
