The principal appellation using this variety, Côtes du Frontonnais (red and rosé), requires that 50% to 70% of the blend be the Négrette grape.[1] The other 50% to 30% must be some combination of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon (maximum 25% together), Côt (maximum 25%), Fer (maximum 25%), Syrah (maximum 25%), Cinsaut, Gamay, Mauzac (a white grape), Merille (maximum 15% together). At least three grape varieties must be used.[2]
Winesedit
Wine made from this grape tends to show versatility in being able to age moderately well and also be drunk young.[3] In California the vine was known as Pinot St-George until 1997, when the BATF ruled that it may no longer be called that.[4] In the Fiefs Vendeens of the Loire Valley, Négrette may be called 'Ragoutant'. The vine has declined in planting in the last century due to its susceptibility to oidium and grey rot.[1][5]
