TO SUBLIMATE THIS DISH: FRONTON AOC
Mainly planted with Négrette, the Fronton appellation vineyard offers full-bodied, complex and robust red wines.
However, the grape variety also gives its particular perfume of black berries, liquorice and violets.
Powerful and delicate, this is an appellation that will delight the most discerning palates with a deliciously cooked meat. Ideal with our recipe. Our experts suggest that you accompany it with a wine of character:
FOLLE NOIRE D'AMBAT - DOMAINE LE ROC
Vintage after vintage, the Folle Noire d'Ambat from the Le Roc estate is the purest expression of the typical South-Western grape variety: Négrette!
This rustic grape variety takes its name from the intense black colour it gives to the wine. Commonly called "Négrette", it is also known locally as "Folle Noire".
Appreciated for its strong aromatic intensity, it is the main grape variety of the Fronton appellation.
Domaine Le Roc once again delivers an authentic and fleshy red wine from the South-West, with an incomparable fruitiness. Vinified in the traditional way with a single grape variety, this is a wine of character with an expressive nose revealing aromas of violets, black cherry and pepper.
WINEMAKER'S DESCRIPTION:
”It is in the heart of the Fronton AOC that the Domaine le Roc, located between the Garonne and the Tarn, produces wines with a strong personality, highlighting the emblematic grape variety of our appellation: the Négrette.
For more than 30 years, our philosophy has been the same: to work in harmony and with respect for the living. Here, no organic label, but a healthy and reasoned agriculture, with a respectful and sincere work guided by the good sense of the farmer and the certainty that the earth does not belong to us.„
Surprisingly full-bodied with very velvety tannins, this Fronton generously gives way to the primary flavours of our salty-sweet dish.
Perfect for a meal without fuss, this wine is the right choice for simple occasions, a convivial wine!
