Chateau Laurou Absolue Negrette
A tiny, single vineyard plot, 100% Negrette with a phenomenally low yield of just 40 hl/ha. Hand crafted.
Subtle aromas of violets, blackcurrants and black berries with liquorice and spice. Beautifully balanced and well structured.
Legend has it that the Négrette, this black grape variety characteristic of the Fronton vineyards, was brought from Cyprus by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Fronton is the only appellation to have claimed for its own this variety which, whilst a touch capricious, yields elegant, well-structured, aromatic wines with a flowery nose.
If you judge the quality of a wine by the size of it's punt (dip in the bottom) then this wine would be top of your list. It is so deep you could keep a school of tuna in it!
