Tasting notes

Clear, dark red. Expressive dried strawberry, chocolate and wet stone. Fresh, lively attack, then ripe black cherry and blueberry leading to an elegant finish; balance between tannin and fruit, juiciness and power.

About this wine

Château Les Trois Croix is a Fronsac estate on Bordeaux's Right Bank, above the Dordogne, with old vines and a long history. It is run by the family of Patrick Léon, the renowned winemaker who long led the cellars of Château Mouton Rothschild.

The 2019 blends 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, hand-picked into small crates. Slow fermentation and maceration of four to five weeks extract depth, and the wine ages 12-15 months entirely in small barrels. It scored 93 points from Jane Anson and Falstaff and 92 from James Suckling.

Deep, clear red, with dried strawberry, chocolate and wet stone; fresh and lively, then ripe black cherry and blueberry, with tannin and fruit in harmony. Ten years of ageing potential.
