Domaine Lafage Cotes du Roussillon "Cuvee Centenaire" Blanc 2015 (Roussillon, France) - [WA 90-92]

Notes from the Winemaker:Cuvée Centenaire takes its name from the 100 year-old vines of Grenache Blanc and Gris Jean-Marc Lafage farms just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean on gravelly clay soils. One of the greatest white wine values in our portfolio, the final wine blends these ancient grapes with up to 20% younger vine Roussanne. To make a wine that is both rich and balanced the grapes are harvested in two passes, the first when they just reach ripeness and are still high in acidity and a second pass when the grapes are fully ripe with rich fruit flavors. The wine is then aged in a combination of tank and new French oak barrels.Variety: Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, RoussanneAging: 4 months in tank (70%) and new French oak barrels (30%) Ratings & Reviews 90-92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"The 2015 Cotes du Roussillon Centenaire is a racy, medium-bodied blend of mostly Grenache Blanc (and Gris), with 20% Roussanne.
