Fronton wine is the canonical Toulouse-region AOC red wine, made with the indigenous Negrette grape blended with Syrah and Cabernet Franc on the Fronton terroir.
Fronton wine has been produced in the Tarn-et-Garonne hills 25 km north of Toulouse since Roman times, and the Negrette grape (a Toulouse-specific variety) was popularised in the Middle Ages. The Fronton AOC was awarded in 1975. The wine pairs canonically with cassoulet, magret and the southwest plate. Chateau Boujac, Chateau Bellevue La Foret and Domaine Le Roc are the modern reference producers.
