Fragrant, harmonious, generous.
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 aromas of spicy plums, black cherry, purple flowers, vanilla and undertones of fleur de sel. Supple with generous fruit it has a spiced chocolaty finish. Harmonious and approachable it is a wine with substance.
Pair: Grilled meats, game, hearty veggies stews of chili, hard cheeses or seared mushrooms.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper
