Domaine Le Roc, Fronton (France) Négrette 2010

If, like me, you dream of finding a delicious wine from a little known estate in a largely unfamiliar wine region (in this case Fronton, in Armagnac), made from uncommon grapes and sold for a reasonable price, then I suggest you get yourself “La Folle Noire.” It’s deliciously unfamiliar in taste too–flavorful red fruits dominate (raspberries perhaps?) with gingery spiciness and a refreshing touch of menthol also sneaking across the taste buds. With its medium-light body, La Folle is all in all a very pleasurable discovery.
