Château Flotis
'Si Noire...' Fronton Negrette
Fronton, Southwest France, France2020 vintage. This Négrette has more power than the Folle Noire d'Ambat, but the tannin is a bit more rustic, and the nose is more smoky/ spicy than floral. This needs food, worked well with lentils. Abv. 14%. If I didn't misunderstand Anne Ribes, this wine is not produced anymore these days.

Vintage 2019 | colour with purple rim, half transparant, a bit medicinal spicyness, raspberries!, rounded taste with a silky taste, even after pop and pour - so this silkyness will be even more tomorrow, I am sure. Nice wine from 100% negrette. I ordered it from France, because I cannot buy it here in Holland. @Daniel M 😉 Paired with Black Angus ribeye and parsnip frites. Fine pairing.

Can’t stop ordering this at the wine bar—even when I know there are new things to try.

A bit Bretty, ripe and old world at the same time. Quite jnteresting but the Brett is dominating right now.
