Once again, Jean-Marc has gone back to his childhood home of Maury. Here, he is focusing on a very specific area – a lieu-dit in French – called Narassa. From 70 year-old vines planted in the rugged black schist soil. 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah. Jean-Marc is aiming for a slightly different style here. Aiming to tame the firm tannins of the rugged terroir, he harvests the grapes later than normal, which he finds gives the wine a soft texture and a fine finish. I can’t disagree! The wine is at once rich and sumptuous, dare I say hedonistic, yet has a surprising elegance on the long, smooth finish. Just when I thought I couldn’t see anything new from Jean-Marc!
Monsieur Lafage suggests charcuterie, tapas, red meats, paella, game… a wonderful mix of Spanish and French that is the Catalan spirit of the region!
