Fronton

This wine has played a role in history on several occasions: the vineyard once belonged to an order of knights, and it was the subject of a discussion between Louis XIII and Richelieu during a civil war… Fronton wine has stood the test of time, allowing this blend of several grape varieties—including the distinctive Cot, Gamay, Fer-Servadou, Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Mérille—to reach you today. The Négrette variety is also cultivated here with particular pride. Many of these great wines have won medals, thanks in large part to the unique character of the Négrette! In fact, these wines clearly remind us of their Toulouse roots! North of the city, on soils that are low in limestone—sandy-clay or gravelly—the terroir is suited exclusively to the production of red and rosé wines, spanning 2,400 hectares of vineyards. The rosés are best enjoyed young, while the reds are medium-ageing wines that can be cellared for up to 5 years. Depending on the dominant grape variety, the reds can feature intense aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), with pronounced tannins and notes of violet and licorice. The rosé’s finesse is accompanied by a lovely length, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint in terms of freshness. It features aromas of red fruits with hints of citrus.
