The Trois Freres EstateThe Couillaud brothers, Bernard, Michel and François, joined together in 1979 and expanded the original small family holding to the present size. They export their wines in England, Japan, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and the U.S.A."This estate has been one of my value picks in other vintages, and they still offer very good quality for bargain hunters." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2012
