The Grande Cuvée White 2022 - Lafage 75cl

Lafage's Grande Cuvée Blanc 2022 is an exceptional wine, made from a selection of old vines located in the Aspres region, on marble-schist soils from glacial formations, with an eastern exposure.

Harvesting is carried out manually, at optimal ripeness, with a second sorting in the cellar to retain only the best juices. Fermentation takes place naturally in demi-muids, and the wine is aged on fine lees for a year, with gentle stirring weekly.

This wine reveals remarkable elegance and complexity, with lemony notes, aromas of garrigue and toasted brioche. On the palate, it is full-bodied and delicate, offering a beautiful mineral depth.

The Grande Cuvée Blanc pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as lobster, caviar, oysters, or a plate of sushi. It also pairs well with fish or white meat served with a morel sauce.

This wine is produced under the AOP Côtes du Roussillon appellation, with a blend of Grenache Blanc and Gris, as well as Macabeu. The yield is 20 hl/ha, and the average age of the vines is 80 years.
