Description

"Elegant and instantly appealing with apricot, red apple, subtle spice and floral aromas with a hint of raspberry, it's juicy and lively on the palate offering terrific focus and flow. Brilliantly structured by crisp acidity, making it mouth-watering and fabulously appealing. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2021

"I’ve raved time and time again about the quality - and value - coming from Domaine Lafage’s Jean-Marc Lafage. When it comes to quality-to-price ratios, no one does it better than proprietor Jean Marc Lafage. Located just outside of Perpignan, this estate has a wealth of old vines and vineyards to pull from, and the addition of a massive new winery is only going to give them even more control. While it’s easy to write off these value-priced releases as fruit bombs, please taste the wines! They have beautiful purity of fruit, impeccable balance and each release has their own unique character. At the prices, these are no-brainers" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Over the last 5 vintages the Domaine Lafage Côté Rosé has been a firm Black-Market.co.nz member favourite.  The 2020 is another beauty and will not disappoint.  This deliciously dry and berry-fresh Provence style pink ticks all the boxes for the long summer ahead.

Take a sip of this delightful southern French Rosé and let its beguiling floral aromas and delicate berry fruit transport you to France's beautiful, unspoiled south. Delightfully refreshing, this pink is full of the joys of summer all year round! Elegant and stylish, white stone fruit, rockmelon, watermelon and citrus with a hint of savoury complexity, followed by a juicy palate that delivers delicate fruit intensity and fine texture, wonderfully framed by crisp acidity.
This wine  has been a Blackmarket.co.nz member favourite for years, and is always highly rated!
