Extended Taste Notes

The Domaine Lafage Côtes du Roussillon Blanc Centenaire is an elegant and expressive white wine, crafted from old Grenache Blanc vines blended with Roussanne.

Pale golden in colour with bright reflections, it offers a captivating nose of ripe peach, pear and citrus blossom, underscored by hints of honeysuckle and crushed seashells.

On the palate, it is beautifully textured with flavours of white nectarine, lemon zest, and a touch of almond. A fine mineral backbone and refreshing acidity lead to a long, lingering finish with a whisper of saline complexity.

Producer

Jean-Marc Lafage’s family has been growing grapes in Roussillon for six generations but it was Jean-Marc who had the ambition to stop selling the grapes to the local co-op and create a domaine. He and his oenologist wife, Eliane, founded Domaine Lafage in 1996 and the estate now runs to some 138 hectares of vines across Roussillon, with parcels in the Agly Valley, Aspres and Perpignan.

The Agly Valley, with its black shale and layered schist soil in the shadow of ruined Cathar castles is one of Europe’s most exciting terroirs. Eliane and Jean-Marc specialise in growing old vines that impart pronounced minerality and concentration to their wines. The region is best known for its red wines, but don’t forget to try the whites too. Grenache Blanc is one of the most underrated grapes in the world of wine and Domaine Lafage produces some of the very best we have ever tasted.

Food Pairings

This versatile white wine is a perfect companion for fresh seafood, grilled prawns, and shellfish platters, as its bright acidity enhances the natural sweetness of the dishes. The subtle minerality and floral undertones complement herb-roasted chicken, goat cheese, and Mediterranean vegetable tarts, while its vibrant citrus notes make it an excellent pairing with Asian-inspired cuisine such as sushi or lightly spiced Thai curries. Whether served with a refined meal or enjoyed as an aperitif, this wine is a must-have for lovers of crisp, mineral-driven whites.

Wine Region

Located in southern France, Côtes du Roussillon is part of the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region, famed for its sun-drenched vineyards, maritime influence and mineral-rich soils. The Mediterranean climate, combined with the cooling Tramontane winds, allows the grapes to ripen fully while maintaining freshness and acidity. The region’s unique terroir is particularly well-suited for Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, producing white wines of exceptional elegance, vibrant fruit expression, and distinctive minerality. Domaine Lafage has mastered the art of capturing this terroir, creating wines that reflect the pure essence of the Mediterranean.
