The Climb
In Pomerol, cellar work and technical oversight are often learned by staying with a property long enough to know its rhythms. Éric Murisasco’s career at Château Trotanoy follows that pattern: cellar work first, then wider responsibility. The progression is incremental rather than dramatic, built on repetition, precision, and close familiarity with one estate.
Today
At Château Trotanoy in Pomerol, the work is structured around sorting, full de-stemming, vinification in small concrete vats, and aging in oak barrels. Those steps define the technical frame around Éric Murisasco’s role as oenologist there: selection first, then fermentation in concrete, then élevage in oak. The process is direct and disciplined, with each stage carrying weight into the next. That same technical steadiness extends to Château Lafleur-Gazin, where Murisasco is also œnologue. In both positions, the center of gravity remains Pomerol and the daily practice remains tied to the demands of the cellar. The work asks for consistency more than display, and for decisions that hold from harvest through barrel aging.
