The choice of these objects is discussed and a statistical method is described and applied to the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the selected stars, giving rise to contour levels in the metallicity-age plane. The effects of the Hipparcos parallaxes on these confidence regions, with influence on both age and metallicity, are studied for the V818 Tau system through a comparison with very accurate but older orbital parallaxes. Finally, theoretical simultaneous age-metallicity estimates are given for the three binaries and compared with observational constraints.4 pages, to be published in "Stellar clusters and associations: Convection, Rotation, and Dynamos", Sicily, ed.
