Characteristics
This "Fronton Grande Reserve" red wine is produced by Château Coutinel, a renowned winemaker located in the Fronton appellation area in southwestern France. This wine is made from a blend of Negrette, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with Negrette being the dominant variety.
This rich and complex wine has an intense ruby color, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberry, and cassis backed by subtle floral, herbal, and spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with smooth and silky tannins, with flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and leather, with a hint of vanilla and oak from aging in oak barrels.
This wine has been aged for 12 months in oak barrels, followed by a two-year bottle aging process, which gives it depth and character. It has an excellent balance of acidity and tannins, leading to a long and lingering finish. It is a wine that needs time to open up and express its full potential.
This wine is ORGANIC.
