Château Clamens

Negrette-driven reds from Fronton's distinctive South West France terroir.

Château Clamens sits in Fronton, a distinctive corner of South West France where Negrette thrives. This local grape—dark-skinned, spicy, and mineral—forms the backbone of the region's identity. At Château Clamens, Negrette appears in pure form in Le Secret, rated 90 by Wine Enthusiast, and blended with Syrah in both Fronton Rouge and Négrette - Syrah. These wines reflect Fronton's terroir: the Negrette brings structure and subtle tannin, while Syrah adds depth and darker fruit. The resulting reds are neither heavy nor austere, but rather poised between the rustic character of South West France and the precision of more northern regions. Wine Enthusiast has assessed the portfolio, recognizing the technical merit in these expressions of a grape most wine drinkers have yet to encounter.
