Robert Parker Wine Advocate
[vintage 2021]

A 100% Grenache from vines averaging 65 years of age, the 2021 IGP Côtes Catalanes Nicolas (it does include 15% of the previous vintage) spent just eight months in demi-muids prior to bottling. A terrific effort for near-term consumption, it delivers subtle hints of garrigue, crushed stone and licorice, all on a bed of ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, round and expansive, framed gently by silky tannins, it finishes long and harmonious.

Proprietors Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage make a dizzying number of wines, many in collaboration with their American importer, Eric Solomon. The following wines were tasted last year, either at one of the Lafage properties in Roussillon or presented by Solomon at my home in the lower Hudson Valley.

Always quite cleanly made—the main Lafage winery is a technical marvel and has always been spotless when I've visited—the wines are fruit-forward yet well balanced, offering considerable value for the generally modest pricing.

Jeb Dunnuck
[vintage 2019]

All Grenache brought up in demi–muids and aged on lees for 8 months, the medium ruby/purple hued color of the 2019 Cuvée Nicolas is followed by a killer bouquet of kirsch liqueur, savory spices, cured meats, and peppery garrigue. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and gorgeously textured, it has wonderful richness with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It’s another insane value from this team.

James Suckling

Aromas of dark cherries, cassis, cola and hints of sweet oak spices. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture with balance and a creamy core of berries and cherries. Mellow and joyful with a seductive finish. Drink now.
