Fragrant, harmonious, balanced.
From the Les Trois Croix estate (three crosses - referring to the three church towers in the three villages) where the estate's vines grow, in Fronsac, Saillans and Saint-Aignan. The vineyard where this Merlot (86%) and Cabernet Franc is grown is located on one of the highest parcels of land in the Fronsac area and enjoys remarkable views of the vineyards of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Chateau Les Trios Croix is one of the oldest properties in the area, established in 1712 and this cuvee was aged 12 months in two-year-old barrels.
Expect pretty cedar and graphite, vanilla, dried flowers, purple berries and pipe tobacco aromas. The entry is smooth and fresh and medium-bodied with light spice, mocha, tealeaf and cherry flavours followed by mocha on the finish. Notable structure and balance here, a lovely and harmonious red. Pair: Grilled meats, game, hearty veggies stews of chili, hard cheeses or seared mushrooms.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper
