Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A well-crafted wine with aromas of violets and liquorice, round, silky and long on the palate.
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.
