We're excited to receive a new Chardonnay bottling from the maker of Novellum, our best-selling French Chardonnay. For years, customers have craved Novellum and we now have a second offering at a price that's hard to beat. This is a compelling purchase at $14.95 and tastes like it costs two to three times as much!
Year after year, Domaine Lafage produces some of the greatest values in all of France, and the 2024 Colline aux Fossiles is one of the most compelling yet. Crafted by renowned winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage, this southern French white combines vibrant fruit, refreshing minerality and remarkable complexity at a price that seems almost impossible in today's market.
Wine Enthusiast gave this wine 91 Points calling it, "generous on the nose with aromas of pear, peach and white flowers." We completely agree-this is one pleasing Chardonnay!
The beauty of Lafage Chardonnay is it combines the perfectly-ripened fruit and richness you might find in a high-quality California Chardonnay with the brightness and minerality you expect in Burgundy. This combination makes it the perfect crossover wine which appeals to those who enjoy either California or French Chardonnay.
The name "Colline aux Fossiles" translates to "Hill of Fossils," a reference to the vineyard's ancient marine soils. Located in the Roussillon region of southern France near the Mediterranean, the vines are rooted in limestone and clay soils. These mineral-laden soils and cooling influences from the sea and nearby Pyrenees Mountains contribute freshness and aromatic intensity in the warm Mediterranean climate.
Domaine Lafage is on an amazing roll where everything they touch seems to turn to gold; they are producing absolutely gorgeous wines. Lafage first came upon our radar with Bastide Miraflors, Narassa and Cuvee Nicolas which have been huge hits. We really enjoy this wine and feel it is an amazing value.
Whether you're already a fan of Lafage's celebrated Novellum Chardonnay or discovering the estate for the first time, the 2024 Colline aux Fossiles is a bottle that showcases why Domaine Lafage has become one of France's most trusted names for outstanding value.
This is an excellent "Everyday Drinker" that you can open up during the week to enjoy with dinner or simply unwind with a glass on its own. Enjoy this delicious wine, which would make a terrific case purchase. You can't go wrong at the price and this is a terrific wine to enjoy over the coming year or two."
WINE ENTHUSIAST 91 POINTS - "Very light in the glass, this bottling is generous on the nose with aromas of pear, peach and white flowers, as a mineral streak of wet slate adds nuance. The palate pairs riper plumeria and guava flavors with refreshing slices of yellow grapefruit."
