2022, Château Les Trois Croix, FRONSAC

Intensely floral on the nose, really aromatic and inviting with rich, ripe fruit scents. Bright, lively and supple, much lighter in terms of flavour and brightness on the palate than the nose suggests but still with concentration. So juicy and succulent, really appealing, easy and unfussy. Excellently worked, great tannic integration and sense of style. Not trying too hard but ticks the boxes of being refreshing, cool, dense, softly fleshy and charming. Delicious, sweet, sharp, tangy, fun, controlled and stylish. A sure fire buy! Rolland & Associés consultants. 94 Georgina Hindle, Decanter.

The 2022 Les Trois Croix is fabulous. Succulent dark fruit, blackberry jam, chocolate, espresso, licorice and cloves saturate the palate. Inky and deep, with compelling inner sweetness, the 2022 offers tons of intensity in a decidedly flamboyant style. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together. 91-93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

The 2022 Les Trois Croix is vivacious on the nose (as usual) with red berry fruit, cedar and iodine. It seems to gain in intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins that frame layered red fruit, with a dusting of white pepper and cedar toward the cohesive finish. Excellent. 91-93 Neal Martin.
