Vineyard
The Frontonnais, a vineyard near Toulouse, stretches across the broad terraces between the Garonne and Tarn rivers as you leave Toulouse along the right bank.
Terroir
The presence of iron and quartz in this poor, gravelly soil allows Négrette to express its truly unique character, with aromas of violet and black fruits (blackberry, cherry, blackcurrant). A sincere, inimitable wine that proudly reflects its terroir of origin.
Grape Varieties
60% Négrette, 20% Syrah, 20% Gamay.
Négrette, a grape variety found nowhere else in the world, first appeared in the 12th century under the name “MAVRO” (meaning “black” in Greek), brought back from Cyprus by the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. Demanding by nature, it has adapted only to the Fronton terroir. Négrette is one of the rare grape varieties whose wines display the same aromas found in the fresh grapes themselves.
Winemaking
Born from a meticulous selection of noble grape varieties harvested at perfect ripeness to preserve freshness and aromatic complexity. The winemaking process—direct pressing and low-temperature fermentation—enhances the finesse of the aromas and yields a brilliant hue.
Thanks to precise work in the cellar, this rosé offers a subtle balance of fruitiness, minerality, and a silky texture on the palate.
Tasting Notes
A pale, luminous color with pink highlights. The refined nose reveals a complex aromatic palette combining notes of fresh red berries, citrus zest, and a subtle floral touch. A lively attack opens on aromas of white peach and redcurrant, supported by a beautiful, persistent, and refreshing finish. Can be kept for 2 to 3 years depending on storage conditions.
Food Pairings
This wine can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif. Perfect with tapas, Iberian ham and chorizo, salmon tart, leek pie, stuffed peppers, tarragon chicken, sushi and sashimi, fresh goat cheese, Salers, or red fruit desserts (Bavarian cream, fruit mirror cake, cheesecake).
Ideal Serving Temperature
8°C.
