Domaine Lafage Côté Rosé 2024
Intense nose, fresh and fruity with floral notes through to a balanced and vibrant palate with a persistent long finish.
The grapes come from the maritime terroir and stony soils from Canet-en-Roussillon hills and Perpignan lending freshness and vitality. Average age of the vines is 25 years and the yield is 50 hl/ha.
The Grenache Noir is directly pressed and macerated for 10 hours. The varieties are fermented separately at a temperature of 16 °c in stainless steel tanks.
Domaine Lafage, situated between Perpignan and the Spanish border in Côtes Catalanes, Roussillon, has been run by Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage since 2001. They travelled spending many a season harvesting grapes and making wine in South America, the United States (California), South Africa and Germany before settling back in the Roussillon. The estate, with 7 generations and its two centuries of winemaking history dating back to 1798 prides itself on producing fine and elegant wines from the mosaic of vineyards in this dry, windy and rugged landscape. For over a decade, Roussillon has been grappling with the full force of climate change and the Domaine has transformed its viticultural practices in recent years. Their emphasis on sustainability and climate resistance in the form of regenerative agriculture including water monitoring together with earlier harvesting to gain freshness is laying the ground to face any challenges that the future may bring.
