Tasting notes
Perhaps it is the strong mineral essence that gives this wine its unique character. You find it in the nose, which also offers flowers, red pit fruits, and smoke. The wine is round, and polished, and will easily seduce you with its layers of fresh red fruits, salty tannins, and mildly savory edge in the finish. You can drink this young, or age it for more complexity. Drink from 2023-2037.

A nicely made Fronsac, the 2020 Château Les Trois Croix shows a forward, juicy, medium-bodied style as well as ample darker berry fruits, some peppery herb, earth, and graphite nuances, fine tannins, and a good finish. Drink this borderline outstanding Fronsac over the coming 8-10 years.
The 2020 Les Trois Croix has maintained a wonderful bouquet with bright blackberry and wild strawberry scents, hints of cedar and graphite emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, very well-judged acidity, taut and crisp with a slightly granular, graphite-tinged finish that gives it Pauillac-like allure. Superb.
The 2020 Les Trois Croix is racy, supple and engaging, right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, espresso, chocolate, new leather and spice all flesh out effortlessly. Deep and resonant in the glass, Les Trois Croix is a winner from Patrick Léon.
