Description

Les Frontons Flingueurs de La Colombière

is the ultimate wine for enjoyment and conviviality! A rich nose of red and black fruits, with hints of flowers and spices. On the palate, it is round and rich, supported by smooth tannins. Perfect for sipping whenever the mood takes you: I once knew a woman from Toulouse who used to drink it for breakfast. 

A bit of history

Just like the cult film that inspired this vintage, the wine is unpretentious and free from traditional conventions, a little rough around the edges (natural). Popular and accessible to everyone, yet full of character. A wine to drink and enjoy again and again! …

In the vineyard, in the cellar

A blend dominated by Négrette vines with an average age of 30 years, complemented by Syrah, makes up La Colombière’s Les Frontons Flingueurs cuvée. Stony, loamy soils of Boulbènes.

Aged for 11 months in wooden and stainless steel vats. Unfined wine, lightly filtered.
