The wine region of Fronton

South-West AOC north of Toulouse around its fetish grape: signature Negrette as king red (50-70%) — deep robe with signature notes of violet, peony, blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, liquorice, sweet spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins and elegant freshness, moreishness and persistent floral finish. Syrah, Cabernets, Cot, Gamay as backup. Fresh, aromatic rosés equally emblematic. AOC (1975), ~2,000 ha on gravelly terraces, temperate climate.

The wine region of South West

French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.

The word of the wine: Astringency

Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
