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: Maceration

Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
