"A real treat!

"Complex on the nose, with violets, aniseed, pepper and black fruits, the palate needs to mellow, but has potential, less consensual young than its peers, this is an ambitious wine." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) A fine bottle!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the wine:

Complex on the nose, with violet, aniseed, pepper and black fruit, the palate needs to mellow out, but has potential. Less consensual young than its peers, this is an ambitious wine.

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 a wine from the estate over 10 years old, 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, where they were already the operators. 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.
