Anecdotes about the domain

"Dad was a winemaker, I followed him to the vineyard. We had a plot of very old vines on a magnificent, extremely steep terroir. No mechanization was possible, everything was done by hand and these grapes were the first ones that I was allowed to vinify alone. It is here, in the silence, at the rhythm of Man, that I met both my father and my first passion: the vine. A new wine cellar has just been built at the domain, to make our work even more precise. In the future, we wish to develop a wine tourism pole to welcome wine lovers in the best way."

The domain's short story

It is a family property since 1798 which has vineyards cultivated in Reasoned Control in three sectors: L'Agly, les Aspres and the Maritime Coast of Perpignan! Jean-Marc Lafage and his wife Éliane represent the 7th generation of the family to continue the adventure. And what a long way they have come: replanting, acquisitions, renovations... All of this has resulted in a superb success in all the styles of wine produced on the estate. The Lafage estate is an institution in Perpignan, and an essential estate of the Roussillon! After having made wine all over the world, Jean-Marc and his wife decided to come back and settle in Roussillon. The opportunity for the family to build a new project. Éliane and Jean-Marc carefully chose the parcels on which they would make their wines according to what they wanted to produce. Among the mosaic of terroirs that the Roussillon represents, they chose three with very specific characteristics. The Agly valley first of all to find the opulence and authenticity of the traditional Catalan grape varieties, the Aspres which translates the elegance of the Vignon tradition and finally the Maritime Coast to have the freshness of the seaside brought by the capricious sea breezes.
