Tasting Story

The 2020 'A Fleur de Peau' is a testament to the revival of the Bouysselet grape. 15 days on skins and two years in oak have transformed this rare variety into a complex tapestry of pear, tropical fruit, and savory earth. It is a "living" wine that represents the dedication of Diane and Philippe Cauvin to the heritage of Fronton.

Serving Tip Serve at 12–14°C. This slightly warmer serving temperature allows the 24-month barrel maturation and the unique character of the Bouysselet grape to truly shine.
