The wine

Bright golden yellow colour. Very intense, exotic nose with notes of pineapple and mango, apricot and peach, mingling with floral and cedar notes. The palate is full of these aromas, with excellent length sustained by great freshness. A sapid, gourmet finish. The estate's most ambitious white, and an unusual blend that includes Chenin Blanc, rare this far south.

The producer

Domaine Lafage lies between Perpignan and the Spanish border in the Cotes Catalanes, run by Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage since 2001. Before settling back in the Roussillon they spent years harvesting and making wine in South America, California, South Africa and Germany, and it shows in the range.

Winemaking here goes back to 1798. The landscape is dry, windy and rugged, and for over a decade the Roussillon has been meeting the full force of climate change head on. Lafage have responded by rebuilding how they farm: regenerative agriculture, close water monitoring, and picking earlier to hold onto natural freshness. That freshness is the signature. These are wines from a hot place that do not taste heavy.
