Leroc Fronton

Gaba do Xil Valdeorras Mencía 2020

Nice nose that reminds me of La Folle Noire d'Ambat from Domaine le Roc in Fronton. There is a bit of a wild thing on the nose, with nice cherry and black cherry notes, there is also an iron, metallic touch. Some savoury scents add some complexity. The palate is juicy, acid driven, with some width, some savoury notes all along, like worcestershire sauce. There is a bit of a tannic grip in the rear and a rather long and juicy, and grippy finish that goes on for a while and ends up with that umami flavour. This is very good and a great value at about 17 USD in equivalent local currency. Warmly recommended. 14% abv — a month ago

Kurtatsch Cortaccia (Michael Chiarrelo)

Südtirol Alto Adige Lagrein 2021

The nose shows a bit of herbaceous notes, along with raspberries, blackberries and green bell pepper notes. I could have easily mistaken it for a cab franc. There is a tiny savoury note too, lurking in the back. The palate is medium bodied, with a delicious blackberries-raspberries stew note all along, a velvety mouthfeel that is slightly disrupted by gently drying tannins in the rear. The finish is long, fruity, with a nice savoury note, an rides on a tannic layer until the very end. The palate and finish remind me very much of my beloved Fronton 100% négrette wines from Domaine Le Roc. Good stuff 👍🏻 — 2 years ago

Côtes du Frontonnais Sangiovese Blend 1987

JKT
8.9

An Acker tag on and a surprise of how nice it’s drinking. Not yet over the hill. Not complex but nice balance of that aged forest floor notes and Mushrooms with very ripe dark fruits reduced down in cooking. Wine searcher says 50% Négrette, 35% Cabernet Franc et Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah. Bottle confirms Négrette and Cabernet, says 32,327 bottles and this one numbered 13,343. — 6 years ago

Ninette Negrette Syrah 2023

Last ninette of the season. My previous notes still stand. It's a banger of a rosé with a nice body, some width and weight, a long finish and it's sold for a ridiculous small price at the winery. It got cold on my bike this afternoon but this is warming both my heart and my soul 🤩 — 10 months ago

Domaine Le Roc

Le Bouysselet Blanc Fronton White Blend 2023

2023 vintage. A whole different wine compared to the 2024 Plaisance. As in this case the Bouysselet was grafted on Merlot vines, the young vine effect doesn't play a role. Yellow, light golden colour. Intense nose with apricot,flowers, beeswax and toast. In the mouth it is powerful,with concentrated stone fruit ( apricots, peaches, prunes), subtle almond bitters, fresh acidity, and a slightly honeyed long finish. Unlike the Plaisance, this is very unique, maybe closer to Timorasso than Chenin Blanc. Producers are aiming for a Fronton Blanc Bouysselet appellation these days, which would be great for the better producers in this underestimated region. Abv. 14%. — 10 months ago

Château la Colombière

Les Frontons Flingueurs Negrette

这个属于是非常神奇的自然酒了,会有些不属于其本身的二三类香气,如皮革,甚至会有些老酒特有的荃类香气。在后面还会有些青椒味,浆果味也越发明显,最后也会有花生和芝麻的味道,是会随着时间变化而变化的酒,很棒👍🏻! — 3 years ago
