Wine Advocate Review
Rated 90
Tasted twice, two months apart, with consistent notes, the 2020 Cotes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is a 70-30 blend of Syrah and Grenache, aged in demi-muids and concrete tanks, respectively. There’s a hint of peppermint, but the primary focus here is on the fruit, ranging from blueberries and mulberries into darker notes of plum and dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied and creamy in texture, with deliciously supple, soft tannins, which make it exceptionally easy to drink now, but maybe not particularly long-lived. Drink 2022-2027.
Wine Tasting Notes
A custom cuvee for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Domaine Lafage Bastide Miraflors Cotes du Roussillon Red Blend is a cuvee created from old vine Grenache (30%) grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah (70%) from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean.
