In Episode 51, we journey to the sun-soaked south of France, specifically to the Roussillon region, nestled in the southwest corner of the country between the Spanish border and the Mediterranean Sea. Our esteemed guest is Jean-Marc Lafage of Domaine Lafage, one of the region's most influential producers. Domaine Lafage’s wines are a global force, gracing tables in over 60 countries. The Roussillon region itself is a unique viticultural landscape, offering both challenges and rewards to vintners like Jean-Marc. The area's dramatic elevation changes make mechanisation impossible, while its arid climate, though demanding, contributes to the intense concentration of flavours in the grapes.
The Lafage family has been crafting wine for over two centuries, with their expertise handed down from generation to generation. They are renowned for producing some of the finest Grenache wines in the world.
In this episode, we delve into the pressing challenges posed by climate change in the region and explore the remarkable innovations Jean-Marc is spearheading—not just for his vineyard, but for the entire region and industry as well.
