Nicolas Grenache Noir Vieilles Vignes 2019 - Domaine Lafage
The Nicolas Grenache Noir from Lafage is a genuine top-quality red wine that brings the essence of the Grenache vine into the glass.
With a ruby red colour, this wine enters the glass and enchants with a lot of red and black berry fruit. First and foremost are aromas of black currants, sun-ripened raspberries, night blackberries and sweet blueberries. Spicy notes of southern French garrigue, slate minerality, some oakwood aromas and ethereal nuances of sage have also conjured Jean-Marc Lafage and wife Eliane in the Nicolas Grenache Noir.
On the palate the Lafage Nicolas Grenache proves to be powerful and supple, with spicy notes, silky but equally grippy tannins and a vital fruit acid as a perfectly balanced red wine from the great double region Languedoc-Roussillon.
Vinification of Nicolas Lafage Grenache Noir
The grapes for Nicolas Grenache Noir are harvested at the beginning of October and fermented at low temperature. Then 20% of the wine matures in French barriques (the oak wood comes from the forêt de jupilles) for 10 months. The remaining 80% remains in stainless steel tanks.
