Domaine Lafage Centenaire Côtes du Roussillon Blanc is a premium white wine. Domaine Lafage is situated between Perpignan and the Spanish border in Côtes Catalanes, Roussillon, and has been run by Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage since 2001. Together, they travelled the world, 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. Domaine Lafage, which has a winemaking history dating back to 1798, prides itself on producing fine and elegant wines from the mosaic of vineyards in the dry, windy and rugged landscape.
Tasting note for 2023, the 2024 is possibly even better!: 17.5/20
Creamed honey and fennel on the nose. A stunning vintage of this wine – one which kept unfolding over several hours and then several days, and was beautiful at every temperature, even when it got a bit warm. There is so much here. The fruit spirals through a mesmerising spectrum of stinging, salty citrus to silky peaches to full-on tropical mango and pineapple. But running vertical through that slow-swirling spiral are tight, glinting-green and silvery threads of lavender, crushed granite, dried oregano, rosemary flowers, river stone and lemon sherbet. So fresh, so very fresh, and yet rich, creamy and almost voluptuous at heart. And so alive, so peppery. It seems insane that this is under £25 (by some margin). VGV Tamlyn Currin
