"Cuvée Nicolas is named after Jean-Marc and Eliane’s son and comes from a blend of Grenache grown in the red schist soils of the foothills of the Pyrenees in Asprès with Grenache from the back schist soils of Maury. These low yielding vines (19hl/ha) are around 65 years old and are planted on terraces with southern and southeastern exposure." —winemaker

"Dark ruby red color, limpid and brilliant. This wine has soft, smooth and velvety tannins. Intense nose of undergrowth, violet, clove and tobacco. Fleshy in mouth, a spicy and harmonious length." —winemaker

"Luscious notes of butter and juicy, ripe stone fruit are prominent on the nose and palate, and are balanced with bright acidity and indulgent flavors of butterscotch and vanilla. This wine is full-bodied with a smooth finish." —winemaker

"Chardonnay shows up in some remarkably diverse places but few as breathtaking as the Roussillon, where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean. From vineyards, just a stone’s throw from the beach and within view of the historic Mont Canigou, Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage have created Novellum, a refined, aromatic, and elegant Chardonnay that is aged in tank and neutral French barrels." —winemaker
