Château Flotis - Fronton 2018

These vintages often exhibit a pronounced salinity, typical of the vineyard. Sy is one of the most powerful wines in the appellation.

In the Ribes family, everyone has their place. Jean-Luc, who plays the blues in his spare time, took over the family estate in 1981; over time, he was joined by Frédéric and Cathy, and later by Pierre. The estate covers 23 hectares of boulbènes and gravel soils.

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. The 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 wine; alongside it, the Négrettes remain at their best thanks to meticulous and increasingly modern winemaking techniques.
