Côtes du Frontonnais


See Côtes du Frontonnais producers See a list of Côtes du Frontonnais wines

The Côtes du Frontonnais appellation is located in the South-west of France, just north of Toulouse and on terraced slopes by the river Tarn. 

Négrette is the signature grape of the region (50-70% of the red wine blends), a variety unique to the Frontonnais and Gaillac regions of France. Growing alongside Négrette are Malbec, Mérille, Fer, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Gamay, Cinsault, Mausac.

Négrette yields wines high in tannin, extract and alcohol, reminiscent of red cherry, wild berries with leather and smoke overtones.
