"An open Fronton, dominated by jammy black fruits, with floral notes in the background. The attack is fresh, almost light, then a perfect harmony is achieved thanks to a framework of melted, liquorice tannins." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2022) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A well-opened Fronton, dominated by jammy black fruits, with floral notes in the background. The attack is fresh, almost light, followed by perfect harmony thanks to a framework of melted, liquorice tannins.
About the domain :
A computer scientist and Parisian in a previous life, Guy Salmona turned to winegrowing in Fronton when he bought this estate. In 2009, he began converting his 45 ha of vines to organic farming (which is now complete). A sure bet in the Fronton region.
