Les Trois Croix
Les Trois Croix is a sophisticated Bordeaux-style red blend crafted in the heart of Fronsac, one of Bordeaux’s lesser-known yet highly respected appellations in France. Founded by renowned winemaker Patrick Léon, who previously helmed winemaking at Château Mouton Rothschild, this estate focuses on producing wines that embody the elegance and depth of the region. The blend typically features Merlot as its star, complemented by smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances power with finesse.
On the nose, Les Trois Croix entices with lush aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of dark chocolate, layered with earthy notes of tobacco and cedar. The palate is rich and velvety, offering flavors of dark fruits, spice, and a hint of minerality that speaks to its terroir. Firm yet refined tannins give it structure, while a well-integrated acidity keeps it vibrant, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
Best enjoyed after some time in the decanter, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, or a rich mushroom risotto. Its aging potential also makes it a fine choice for collectors looking to add a Bordeaux gem to their cellar.
