Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.
Wine Enthusiast
Rated wine (guide 2022) 88/100
About the wine:
A blend that includes half Négrette, the local grape variety, this wine is juicy with a light touch of earth and red fruit. The wine's light structure complements the supple tannins and generous fruit. Drink from 2023. Suitable for vegans. Organic.
