Domaine Le Roc
La Folle Noire d'Ambat Fronton Negrette
Fronton, Southwest France, France2022 vintage. Any wine that smells like roses gets my attention. In this case the roses are intertwined with spices, and it is hard to find wines this cheap that smell so nice. A delicious,uncomplicated, spicy and fruity Negrette, with a little tannic bite that can be served slightly cold. Abv. 12,5%. This organic Fronton delivers lots of pleasure and character, and it sells for a song.

100% Negrette. Like a lighter bodied savory Northern Rhone Syrah with dried violets. Really interesting and I couldn't stop drinking it. Will be seeking out more from Fronton.
