Lafage “Novellum” Chardonnay, Côte Catalanes, France, 2018

The 2018 Novellum Chardonnay is full of fresh apricot and ripe cantaloupe flavors complimented by yellow flowers and honeysuckle aromatics. A creamy texture rounds the palate with orange blossom and a hint of lemon zest on the finish.

Lafage “La Narassa” Côte Catalanes, France, 2016

This Grenache/Syrah blend from the La Narassa site is ripe and broad-shouldered with aromas of almond and vanilla, cigar ash and cedar. Black cherry and dark plum show on the palate with roasted herbs and a meaty texture. This is a wine to pair with food from roasted chicken to grilled steak.
