Product Notes

Domaine Lafage Nicolas is a captivating French wine, originating from the esteemed Languedoc Roussillon region. This divine red blend encompasses a rich, full-bodied profile, offering a harmonious balance between structure and flavour. Prominent notes of ripe, dark fruits are elegantly punctuated with a hint of spice, emanating the vineyard's Mediterranean charm. Maturation in French oak barrels further unveils subtle nuances of vanilla, clove and cedar, exquisitely evolving on the palate. Expressive and abundant, this wine perfectly epitomises the art of French winemaking, with the warm southern expanses of the vineyard contributing to its characteristic finesse. Perfect for pairing with a Sunday roast or a hearty stew to enhance a cosy evening.
