"A real treat!"

"Complex on the nose, with notes of violet, anise, pepper, and black fruit. The palate needs time to open up, but has potential. Less consensual when young than its peers, this is an ambitious wine." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) A beautiful bottle!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About wine:

Complex on the nose, with notes of violet, anise, pepper, and black fruit, the palate needs time to open up, but has potential. Less consensual when young than its peers, this is an ambitious wine.

About the estate:

Le Roc is one of Fronton's leading wines. The range is extensive, and each vintage of the top wines demonstrates that Fronton can produce wines with depth and real aging potential. This is proven with each new tasting of a wine from the estate that is over 10 years old, which always surprises with its youthfulness.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 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 Ribes, the Ribes family decided to take over the vineyards of Château Flotis, a neighboring property that they were already farming. Its 21 hectares of Syrah and Négrette grapes on a stony hillside thus swelled the ranks of Le Roc. The Négrette grapes are always treated with the utmost care thanks to meticulous and increasingly modern winemaking techniques, giving the wines a radiant profile.
