Soft plum colour, gentle fruit flavours berries and brambles, acidity carefully controlled with some slate textured tannins. There is austerity here but well managed, an early drinker, unfussy and charming. Bertrand Léon owner and winemaker. 91 points

The 2024 Les Trois Croix has a light bouquet of blackberry and blueberry fruit and light violet scents mixed with black olives. The palate is medium-bodied, nicely composed and well balanced as usual, with ripe tannins and a bright finish that has more concentration than you would expect from the vintage. 90-92 points
