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.
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.
