Négrette [neh-GREHT] A red-wine grape cultivated mainly in southwestern France. Négrette is the main grape in the wines of CÔTES DU FRONTONNAIS, which can be very SMOOTH and SUPPLE, have flavor aspects of strawberry and raspberry, and be capable of medium-term AGING. Limited amounts of this variety are grown in California, where it's known as Pinot St. George because it was long thought to be a member of the Pinot family. Negrette is also known as Petit Noir.
