PGI Lavilledieu

A very small region of only nine hectares close to where the Tarn meets the Garonne, north west of Fronton.

It was the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (or Templars) who built the “la Ville Dieu du
Temple”.

Négrette is planted here like in nearby Fronton but it is Cabernet Franc which is the main grape variety.

Unusually for an IGP, no white wine is produced here, only red and rosé. The red and rosé wines are supple and round, fruity on red fruit notes.
