Winemaker Notes
Every year, we attempt to make a harmonious wine, balanced between tannic richness and roundness, between the fruit and the power of the woody notes.

Blackberries, chocolate and sweet licorice. Opens with raspberries, dark cherries and a dense smooth mineral note. Medium body with bright red fruit and ripe fine fruit. Precise and fine with ripe tannins. Excellent. Best ever from here. Drink from 2015.

This has a taut chalky frame to the core of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit. Smoldering tobacco and singed iron notes hang through the light toasty finish. Should soften nicely in the cellar. Best from 2013 through 2020.

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.
