Tasting Notes

An impressive Chateauneuf du Pape. Made in a modern style, it possesses plenty of up-front fruit along with a full-bodied, dense, concentrated personality. A deep ruby color is followed by a loaded Chateauneuf offering a cascade of blackberry and cherry fruit intertwined with hints of spice box, pepper, and dried Provencal herbs. Voted into the outstanding wines section by Wine Spectator magazine Aug. 2006 beating many more expensive rivals.

Other Notes

The Lafond family have been involved in wine growing since 1780. Valery Taulier, built the first private cellar in Tavel during 1948 and Jean-Pierre Lafond, Valery Taulier’s son-in-law, decided to create the present cellar in 1970. Fond of horses, he gave his Domaine the name of a famous horse (Roquepine). He just changed the spelling to give it a touch of Provence. Domaine Lafond Roc-Epine was born. The introduction of the excellent Chateauneuf du Pape in 2001 was a step in the right direction and this domaine keeps going from strength to strength.
