Rosé à la provence with 91 points from Decanter

An extravagant, salmon-colored rosé made just outside Provence in the Roussillon. The style is exactly the same: juicy, elegant, lots of fruit, and lightly spicy. The designer bottle of frosted glass promises a lot. And this rosé more than lives up to those promises. Wine critic Decanter awards the wine a remarkable 91 points: “It’s always nice to find a delicious, light, juicy rosé outside of Provence”.

In the heart of Roussillon, the southernmost point of France, in a Catalan mas built of old stone from the 15th century, Domaine Lafage overlooks the road connecting Perpignan to the Mediterranean coast. A unique panorama offers a breathtaking view of the sea. This is the place where the Domaine Lafage Miraflors Rosé is born. Light pink in color, slightly iodized by the sea breeze, and with a fresh, spicy, and mineral nose. Moreover, the palate is lively on the attack, with grapefruit, cranberry, and Mediterranean herbs very present on the palate, and a beautiful roundness in the finish. In short, truly the ideal summer wine that immediately gives you a holiday feeling. Superb with grilled tuna with salsa verde, prawns a la plancha, and of course a salade Niçoise! Made from 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache Gris, and 20% Grenache Noir. A classic Southern French rosé from Roussillon bursting with freshness!

Domaine Lafage

True globetrotters, Eliane and Jean-Marc Lafage roamed the planet during their studies. This extraordinary journey gave them an open mind—one to always go further in the pursuit of excellence. Consequently, they worked tirelessly, exploring continents, gaining fantastic experiences, and learning new, innovative techniques. Ultimately, this resulted in state-of-the-art standards in their cellar, where modern techniques and traditional customs come together for a happy marriage. Over two decades, Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage have become role models in Roussillon and are recognized ambassadors of this beautiful wine region.

At Domaine Lafage, they are aware of their responsibility in a region with a capricious and dry climate. In the heart of the pristine landscapes of Roussillon, the vines stand alongside centuries-old olive trees and scrub. To this end, terraces have been planted, the soil between the rows plowed, plants covered, weather stations set up, pheromone traps, and 120 nest boxes… After all, all work in the vineyard is carried out with the aim of respecting, preserving, and developing the biodiversity of the precious vineyards. The classic Mediterranean varieties – Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan – dominate the wines. You can taste this when you dream away with the Domaine Lafage Miraflors Rosé. Straight from the cooler on the beach at Bloemendaal!
