Château Les Trois Croix
Chateau Les Trois Croix is translated from French to mean Three Crosses for three children. Patrick Leon and his wife dreamed of owning their own family winery one day. 1712 is carved in stone in the winery and reflects the age and seniority of the vineyard. Located 86 meters above sea level on the limestone plateau the vineyard offers a magnificent view over the hills valleys and mounds typical of this count... this Fronsac Tuscan girondine if endearing. The plateau of clay composed of molasses of Fronsac relies on large limestone rock outcropping that of the surface. These are ideal conditions for Merlot the grape king supplemented by Cabernet Franc up to 20% which the Fronsac region is known for producing.
Description
"Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Les Trois Croix is scented of cherry compote, warm black plums and cassis with hints of garrigue, bay leaves and cloves. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of poise and depth, it has lovely youthful fruit and approachability with a long, refreshing finish." WA
