Vintage Report

The 2023 vintage for Roussillon has been excellently rated with 94 points in the Robert Parker table. This indicates a vintage of exceptional quality with very good aging potential.

Domaine Lafage is best described as a typical Roussillon winery. Since 1798, this winery has been producing excellent wines in this region. More than 120 years later, the Lafage family still heads the company. Today, Jean-Marc Lafage, the sixth generation, heads the estate. Lafage has always kept pace with the times and has always prioritized quality. Until the mid-1990s, this region primarily produced mass-produced wines, which lacked character. Domaine Lafage, among others, has contributed to the Roussillon wine region continuing to produce high-quality wines, including Lafage Cuvée Nicolas Grenache Noir.

The vineyards of Domaine Lafage

This winery has been in business for over two centuries. Over the past 200 years, they have expanded and acquired numerous vineyards. Currently, Domaine Lafage owns a whopping 140 hectares. The vineyards are nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the rugged Pyrenees, providing the ideal conditions for growing grapes. The mountains shelter the vineyards, and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea allows for a gentle sea breeze to blow through the vineyards during the hot summer. The grapes for Lafage Cuvée Nicolas Grenache Noir benefit enormously from this. The quality is truly astronomical.

Nuances in Lafage Cuvee Nicolas Grenache Noir

The Grenache Noir is grown on vines that are no less than 65 years old, resulting in a high-quality wine. This is immediately evident in the attractive color of Lafage Cuvée Nicolas Grenache Noir. The beautiful dark purple makes you want to dip your nose into the glass. Lush and sultry. Complex yet appealing. Ripe fruit rises towards your nose: blackcurrants, ripe cherries, and a hint of plum. A distinct note of candied figs can also be detected. A slight tingle on the nose reveals a hint of spice. The flavor of Lafage Cuvée Nicolas Grenache Noir is generous. Rich and full-bodied. Bursting with black fruit, it tickles your taste buds like an invasion. Let the elegant wine swirl around your mouth. Notes of chocolate and tobacco emerge. An exciting, powerful wine that Robert Parker awarded a remarkable 92 points. That is a fantastic score for a wine in this price range.
