Buy OnlineThe vineyards of Domaine Lafond have been in the family for several generations. The Lafond family has a long history in the Southern Rhone Valley that dates all the way back to 1780. Lafond family created Domaine Lafond in Roc-Epine in 1970.
Today the wines are recognised as reference points for the appellations of Lirac and Tavel. Under the guidance of Jean-Pierre who built the current cellar in 1970 and now son Pascal, the wines have gone from strength to strength. In total the domaine has 74 hectares under vine and produce 4 appellations: Tavel, Lirac, Cotes du Rhone, and Chateauneuf-du-Pape. With their insistence on control at all stages of viticulture and the winemaking process they have achieved remarkable results. In 2012, Domaine Lafond turned to organic farming.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A powerful and full-bodied wine with a deep ruby red colour with violet tints. The nose is complex: cinnamon, stewed fruit, and Morello cherry. After a firm and ample attack, on the palate we have vanilla and peppery notes which last to the finish. This is a rich and supple wine, long in the mouth. The dominating presence of the characteristic flavour of the Grenache grape in the mouth assures the benchmark of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines."
