Chateau La Colombière, "Vinum" Fronton Rouge, Southwest, France 2022
{biodynamic} 100% Négrette
RASPBERRY & BLACK CHERRY, ETHEREAL HERBS, GENEROUS SPICE
Of all the specialized and unusual appellations of southwestern France, Fronton, less than half an hour north of Toulouse, is quite possibly the most unique. Its exotic Négrette grape is cultivated virtually no where else on Earth. The Cauvin family of Chateau la Colombiere have, with their "Cuvée Vinum," brought forward an elegant and balanced representation both of Négrette and of their terroir, showcasing firm purple fruit, elegant earthy mineral, dill, and vigorous spice which perfectly complements the wine’s medium body and solid frame.
Serving Suggestion: Cassoulet with pork shoulder, sausage, and bacon. Roasted cornish hen with thyme rosemary, and Sage.
