Taken over by the Léon family, Château Les Trois Croix has become one of Fronsac's leading names. Today, Stéphanie and Bertrand lead the estate to success, guided by their father Patrick: winemaker at Château Mouton-Rothschild for over twenty years, creator of the mythical Opus One and its Chilean alter ego Almaviva, he is also the initiator of the world's greatest rosé at Château d'Esclans. 

So, when the Bordeaux estate turns its hand to rosé, with all the dexterity we've come to expect from Provence, the results are more than impressive!
