Judged exclusively by independent merchants, this award is a true mark of everyday drinking quality, proving that this bottle genuinely punches well above its price point. The release holds a deeply personal connection to the estate, named affectionately after Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage’s son, Nicolas. Crafted entirely from old-vine Grenache, the grapes are sourced from carefully selected, low-yielding plots anchored in the steep, stony schist soils of the Pyrenees foothills. Because these ancient vines, averaging 65 years of age, naturally produce very few grapes, the fruit they do yield is intensely flavourful and concentrated. To preserve this brilliant natural character, the winemaking team handles the harvest with a very light touch in the cellar, ensuring the lively freshness of the Grenache shines through beautifully in the final \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"545\"\u003eFrench red wine\u003c\/b\u003e. In the glass, this award-winning bottle is wonderfully juicy and immediately inviting. It delivers bright, generous waves of ripe red cherry, cassis, and wild strawberries, accompanied by a subtle hint of soft Mediterranean spice. The tannins are remarkably smooth and rounded, making it incredibly accessible right from the first pour. It is a fantastic, highly versatile option to enjoy alongside a casual midweek supper, grilled sausages, or a sharing board of cured meats.[#intro]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA wonderfully vibrant old-vine Grenache bursting with ripe red cherries, dark berries, and smooth tannins...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Lafage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58441510617469,"sku":"A23LAFAGENICOLAS","price":18.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/NicolasBottle.jpg?v=1785089031","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/products\/domaine-lafage-nicolas-grenache","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
