Lafage Narassa Grenache Syrah Blend

The Lafage family has been making wine in Southern France since 1798. Current generation Jean-Marc and wife Eliane are at the helm of the winery and teaching their children to take over the property, located in the heart of Roussillon, the southernmost point of France. Domaine Lafage overlooks the road that connects the small town of Perpignan to the Mediterranean coast. The vineyard of the Domaine today extends over 6 areas of more than 50 hectares each, spread across the whole of Roussillon, from the Mediterranean shores at Canet-en-Roussillon, to the Pyrenean foothills of Aspres, via Maury. Narassa is a blend of Grenache and Syrah coming from 60 year old vines. The nose is dominated by lots of pure blackberry, crushed herbs, earth and peppery characteristics. The mouth is full bodied, very rich with soft and fine tannins. The finish is fresh with a surprising elegance.
