In over 220 years of craftsmanship, Domaine Lafage has amassed numerous vineyards. Today, they have 140 hectares, planted primarily with local varieties like Grenache and Roussanne. Well-known international varieties are clearly in the minority. Jean-Marc Lafage wants to preserve the identity of Roussillon. He carefully observes which grape thrives in which vineyard. This is the only way to maintain exceptionally high quality. The Lafage Cuvée Centenaire Cotes du Roussillon is composed of two typical Roussillon grapes. Grenache Blanc plays a leading role, accounting for a whopping 80% of this white wine. But don't underestimate the distinctive Roussanne.
