Diane & Philippe Cauvin’s "Coste Rouge" is made from Négrette, a rare, local indigenous grape. It comes from a single parcel of vineyard with iron rich soils of pebbles, gravel and sand. This distinctive terroir gives the wine a softer, yet more intense, version of the grape, heightening its unique characteristics. This is the purest expression of wine from Fronton, the standard by which the others are measured!
