Gallica Rose

A rosé from Roussillon that shows why the region is capable of more than just red wine: fresh, structured, with real character in the glass.

Domaine Lafage cultivates around 200 hectares between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Jean-Marc Lafage and his wife Eliane focus on the old grape varieties of Roussillon – Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre – and benefit from one of the sunniest wine-growing regions in France. The Gallica Rosé is their approachable introduction to the Domaine, vinified for freshness and directness.

In the glass, it shines a bright salmon pink. The nose reveals strawberry, white peach, and a hint of dried herbs – thyme, the kind that grows along the roadside in the garrigue. On the palate, it is lean, with lively acidity and a clean, slightly mineral finish. No oak, no heaviness.

Serving temperature: 8–10 °C. Best enjoyed young, within the next one to two years. Pairs well with grilled sea bream, a goat cheese salad with walnuts, or tapas on the terrace – in short: with anything that tastes of the south.
