Château Les Trois Croix 2020 (750 mL)

Product Info

92 - 94 bod. The Wine Advocate

Château Les Trois Croix se nalazi na izuzetnom terroiru krečnjaka i gline u Fronsacu, sa istorijom koja datira još od početka 18. vijeka. Imanje je revitalizovao Patrick Léon, poznat po radu u Château Mouton Rothschild, Opus One Wineryi Almaviva Winery. Danas vino predstavlja elegantnu, modernu interpretaciju Fronsaca, zasnovanu prije svega na sorti Merlot sa padinskih vinograda.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka granatna boja. Na nosu je bogato i slojevito, sa aromama zrele trešnje, crne šljive i cassisa, uz note mediteranskog bilja (garrigue), lovorovog lista i slatkih začina. Na nepcu je srednjeg do punog tijela, sa odličnim balansom i dubinom; voće je bogato, ali svježe, uz fine, uglađene tanine, a završnica duga, elegantna i blago mineralna.

92 - 94 points - The Wine Advocate

Château Les Trois Croix is set on an exceptional limestone and clay terroir in Fronsac, with origins dating back to the early 18th century. The estate was revitalised by Patrick Léon, renowned for his work at Château Mouton Rothschild, Opus One Winery, and Almaviva Winery. Today, it continues to express a refined, modern interpretation of Fronsac, centred on Merlot grown on hillside vineyards.

In the glass, it shows a deep garnet colour. The nose is generous and layered, with aromas of ripe cherry, black plum, and cassis, complemented by notes of garrigue, bay leaf, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with excellent balance and depth; the fruit is rich yet fresh, supported by fine, polished tannins, leading to a long, poised finish with a touch of minerality and lift.
