Le Classique is a Fronton with aromas of black berries, toast and spices. Surprisingly full-bodied, it has a lovely aromatic intensity and peppery character on the palate. The spices are clearly present on the palate, giving it remarkable persistence... A fine bottle!

Domaine Le Roc
Fronton
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Le Roc is one of Fronton's finest. The range is broad, and the top wines demonstrate with each vintage that Fronton can be born with depth and real ageing potential. Proof of this comes with each new tasting of an estate wine over 10 years old, which is always astonishingly young.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
With the arrival of young Grégoire and Anne Ribes, the Ribes family decided to take over the vineyards of Château Flotis, a neighboring property they already owned. Its 21 hectares of syrah and négrette on a stony hillside have thus swelled the ranks of Le Roc. The négrettes are always in top form, thanks to meticulous and increasingly modern vinification techniques, giving the wines a radiant profile.
