Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Les Trois Croix is scented of cherry compote, warm black plums and cassis with hints of garrigue, bay leaves and cloves. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of poise and depth, it has lovely youthful fruit and approachability with a long, refreshing finish.
The 2015 Les Trois Croix has a reserved, almost left bank-style bouquet with blackberry, cedar and pencil shaving scents emerging in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, a fine line of acidity, very pure and poised with superb mineral tension on the finish. This is a great Fronsac.
This sits at the riper end of the spectrum with plenty of cedary oak adding interest to rich blueberry and cassis fruits. The palate has a smoothly groomed texture with plum flavors carried on firm, fine tannins. Try from 2022.
The 2015 Les Trois Croix is gorgeous. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, cloves and licorice build as this racy, voluptuous Fronsac shows off its soft curves and enveloping personality. All the elements simply fall into place in this delicious, alluring wine from Patrick Léon. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Tasted two times.
