This Fronton is known for its intense fruitiness and tight tannins, which promise great potential. The palate is beautifully chewy with a long finish. A wonderful wine for the table!

Wine rated " Coup de Coeur" (2016 vintage)

Estate rated 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines, you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

With the arrival of Grégoire and Anne, the Ribes family incorporated the vineyards of Château Flotis, a neighboring property that they already operated, into Le Roc. Syrah and Négrette grapes grown on a stony hillside now join the ranks of the estate. The grafted Bouysselet grapes, vinified in barrels, produce an ambitious white wine, while the Négrette grapes remain at their best thanks to careful and increasingly modern vinification techniques.
