About the Winery
Domaine Le Roc is a family-run organic estate based in Fronton, near Toulouse, in southwest France. Known for championing Négrette – the region’s native grape – they work with minimal intervention, native yeasts, and zero added sulphur for their natural sparkling wines. Roc’Ambulle is their cult pét-nat, beloved for its easy-drinking joy and wild energy.
About Sparkling Red Wine
Sparkling red wine is still something of a rarity outside of Lambrusco, and that’s part of its charm. Roc’Ambulle is a pétillant naturel (or pét-nat), meaning it ferments once, in bottle, without added sugar or yeast. The result? A gently fizzy, low-alcohol natural sparkling wine, slightly cloudy and full of personality.
How to Pair It
Chill it down and serve it as an apéritif, or take it to a picnic. It’s delicious with grilled vegetables, spicy noodle salads, or soft cheeses, anything you’d pair with rosé, but want a little more punch. Roc’Ambulle is also the ultimate wine for a sunny afternoon by the pool, with nothing at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Négrette?
Négrette is an ancient red grape native to southwest France, particularly the Fronton region. It’s known for its soft tannins, dark pink hue, and flavours of red berries and violets, perfect for natural and sparkling red wines.
Is sparkling red wine sweet?
Not always. Roc’Ambulle has a touch of sweetness but is balanced by refreshing acidity. Many sparkling reds, especially pét-nats, lean towards dry or off-dry styles, depending on when fermentation is stopped.
What is a no sulphites sparkling wine?
A no sulphites sparkling wine is made without the addition of sulphur dioxide (SO₂), a preservative commonly used in winemaking. Roc’Ambulle is made with zero added sulphur, making it a pure expression of grape and terroir.
What makes organic sparkling wine different?
Organic sparkling wines are made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. They often use native yeasts and minimal intervention, like Roc’Ambulle, which is organic, natural, and vegan-friendly.
What is sparkling red wine?
Sparkling red wine is a style of bubbly made using red grapes, offering a refreshing twist on the more familiar white or rosé sparkling wines. These wines are often fruit-forward, slightly chilled, and perfect for casual sipping or festive meals.
