Fronton is an appellation just north of Toulouse, near Gaillac. 10% of the wine sees oak barrels. The blend is 50% Négrette, 25% Syrah and 25% Malbec. Imported by DiscoverVin.
It’s juicy and Beaujolais-like on the nose. Violets meets mixed berries meets coffee beans. Again, juicy and fruity on the palate, but quickly overtaken by a dark chocolate and heavy roast coffee bitterness. Whilst this bitter note lingers, another sip refreshes the palate and it isn’t so noticeable when consumed with food. Almost contradictory; it has both density and lightness. Le Bouissel is a wine of character and makes for a good table wine.
