Pairing
This is a great wine for barbecue, specifically paired with the inherent sweetness of smoked pork. Other excellent pairing options are potatoes with aoili and chile, grilled tomatoes or mushrooms, and game birds with demiglace if you can get your hands on them.
Tasting Notes
What you need to know about the Négrette grape variety is that it's very hard to grow, and that Fronton is the only place where there codified laws governing how this grape is grown, made, and labeled - it is a fundamental part of their winemaking heritage, and its downright courageous to continue to make this wine with almost no name recognition, when you could plant internationally famous varieties like the others in this wine. All that said though, once you smell the delicate purple flowers on the nose here, and taste the bright, joyful blue fruits on the palate, you'll know why the Frontonaise are so protective of this grape. It's elegant but powerful, the sought after iron fist in a velvet glove.
