Chateau Lauriga Racines de Lauriga

The Château Lauriga Racines de Lauriga, a deep ruby-red wine from the IGP Côtes Catalanes, is an expressive representative of Catalonia's rich winemaking heritage. This gem, nurtured by the experienced hands of Jean-Claude Mas of Domaines Paul Mas, exemplifies the harmonious connection between traditional family values ​​and modern winemaking techniques. The wine is composed of a blend of Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah, grape varieties characteristic of the Roussillon region and known for their strength and intensity. These vines, some over 50 years old, are deeply rooted in soils rich in clay, limestone, and gravel, giving the wine a unique character strongly linked to its geographical origins.

Rich Aromas and Complex Flavor Profiles

The Château Lauriga Racines de Lauriga reveals a rich bouquet of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, enriched with notes of spice, cedar, and tobacco, providing aromatic depth and complexity. These aromas invite a deeper exploration, with each sip confirming the promise of the scent. The wine undergoes careful vinification, with the grapes destemmed and gently pressed, followed by fermentation under controlled temperatures. A three-week maceration allows the skins to fully release their rich palette of flavors, after which the wine is aged for nine months in oak barrels, adding a subtle oaky note that beautifully complements the fruity characters.

Gastronomic Flexibility and Serving Tips

The soft tannins and juicy, ripe fruit make Château Lauriga Racines de Lauriga an ideal accompaniment to robust dishes such as grilled lamb, richly seasoned with rosemary and thyme. This combination emphasizes the spicy and meaty elements of the wine, while the subtle oak notes bridge the smoky accents of the grilled meat. Serve this wine at an optimal temperature of 15-16°C to unlock its full spectrum of flavors. Whether for a casual barbecue or a refined dinner, this wine guarantees an enriching gastronomic experience that emphasizes the essence of French Catalan winemaking tradition.
