Cabirau La Grande Cuvee Rouge

A Roussillon red wine with southern French warmth and structured depth — built for the table, not for the display case.

Domaine Lafage lies in the heart of Roussillon, between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage cultivate their vineyards with a focus on old vines and the region's characteristic soils—slate, gneiss, and gravel. The Grande Cuvée from the Cabirau range is among the estate's most expressive wines: a blend of the classic Roussillon varieties Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan, aged in oak barrels.

In the glass, it displays a dark ruby ​​red color. The nose offers ripe blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of lavender, underpinned by roasted aromas and a touch of garrigue. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and a subtle vanilla note from the oak aging. The finish is long, with a spicy aftertaste of black pepper and thyme.
