Tasting Notes for Cotes du Roussillon Rouge Authentique Domaine Lafage 2005 75 cl:
Rich purple red colour. Intense fruity nose with overwehlming flower, chocolate, liquorish and garrigue aromas. Rich, pleasant, structured and elegant palate.
Press Coverage:
"This gorgeous Roussillon red is a typical Catalan blend of syrah, grenache and carignan. I was won over by its seductive, spicy, syrah perfume and elegant, dusky, inky palate with lots of peppery fruit to the fore. This is the summer red with which to dine indoors and out."
Jane MacQuitty, TheTimes - 28/06/2008
Producer Information:
Jean-Marc Lafage is one of the most dynamic winemakers working in France (and abroad) today. He consults at a number of wineries in the Rhone, Languedoc and Spain but it is is the Roussillon he calls home. The combination of windswept old vines, rocky terroir and the Mediterranean climate - allied to Jean-Marc's outstanding skills in the cellar - produce a fantastic range of wines that have been widely praised by critics on both sides of the Atlantic. He is also the man behind our new, exciting Els Pyreneus range.
