Plaisance-Penavayre Le Rouge Fronton 24

This Fronton rouge presents a deep ruby purple color. The aromatic profile is more intense and spicy than its sibling, with scents of black cherry, licorice, and a distinct peppery note. On the palate, it retains a juicy core but offers a bit more structure and a firmer backbone, with flavors of dark fruit and spice complementing the vibrant acidity. The finish is dry and savory. This cuvée sees a slightly longer maceration, extracting more color, flavor, and a subtle tannic grip from the Negrette grape. Earning 89 points for its added character, this wine can stand up to heartier dishes like grilled lamb, ratatouille, or cassoulet.
