Fronton

Vins de Fronton (Official Site)

Fronton is an appellation in southwest France for rustic red wines (around 85 percent of output) plus rosé. The vineyard area lies around the town of the same name, just to the north of Toulouse.

At least 50 percent of any Fronton vineyard must be planted with the local grape variety Negrette. It is almost exclusive to this part of France and said to have been brought here by the Knights Templar returning from the Crusades. The variety must account for at least 40 percent of the blend of any wine.
--
All wines from this Appellation should be entered with the CellarTracker Appellation "Fronton" irrespective of whether they are from an older vintage which used the "Côtes du Frontonnais" labeling.
--
From 1975 to Sept 2005, this appellation was officially known as "Côtes du Frontonnais." Fronton has always been the colloquial name for this Appellation. The creation of AOC Fronton is legally considered to supplant the Côtes du Frontonnais and usage in CellarTracker reflects that.
