Le Vignon

Le Vignon from Domaine Lafage is a southern French red wine from Roussillon – a region where intense sun, dry winds and old slate and granite soils give the wines structure and character.

Domaine Lafage is one of the most renowned wineries in Roussillon. Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage cultivate approximately 200 hectares around Perpignan, focusing on the region's classic grape varieties – Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan – often from old vines deeply rooted in the poor soils. The estate combines traditional craftsmanship with modern cellar technology.

In the glass, Le Vignon displays a dark ruby ​​color. Typical of Roussillon, it offers aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry, along with Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and lavender, and a hint of clove in the background. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft, well-integrated tannins and a pleasantly long, slightly spicy finish.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb with herbs de Provence, chorizo, mature Manchego cheese, or a hearty cassoulet. It also makes a good, uncomplicated evening wine on its own.
