Négrette, Fronton's heritage grape variety, unique in the world!

A unique character with aromas of black fruits, violets andspices... Obtained thanks to our local grape variety, Négrette, grown, vinified and matured at Château Clamens, in the Fronton appellation.

In the heart of the South-West, just outside Toulouse

Fronton

Fronton Wine House

Our 18 hectares of vines are located on an exceptional terroir 30km north of Toulouse, in the confidential Fronton appellation:

- Soils of boulbènes (silt, sand and clay) and rougets (silt coloured with iron hydroxide) from the ancient terraces of the Tarn (alluvial terraces created by the erosion of the Massif Central mountains).

- The climate, oceanic with a Mediterranean influence, is very favourable: over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, relatively cool nights, little but regular rainfall.

Just the thing to orchestrate red and rosé wines based around Négrette, with its fascinating aromatic intensity!
