Intense floral aromas blend with spicy notes in this cuvée, which is sure to tempt the palate. On the palate, it is supple, fresh, and refined all at once. A delightful Fronton best enjoyed while young.

Estates rated 1*Star (Rising stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

With the arrival of their children, Grégoire and Anne, the Ribes family incorporated the vineyards of Château Flotis—a neighboring property they had already been managing—into Le Roc. Syrah and Négrette grapes grown on a stony hillside have thus joined the estate’s portfolio. The grafted Bouysselet, vinified in barrels, produces an ambitious white; alongside it, the Négrettes remain at their best thanks to meticulous and increasingly modern winemaking techniques.
