The estate and the wine |
|
|
A historic and family-run estate in Ampuis, Domaine Lafoy is a must-visit in Northern Rhône. The arrival of Gaëtan Lafoy has elevated the quality even further in a continuous quest for freshness and clarity. He produces impeccable cuvées in a natural and highly drinkable style, enhanced by excellent barrel aging. |

|
| |
|
Born from this legendary site of the appellation, the 2020 red Côte Rôtie Fongeant possesses the density characteristic of Côte Brune wines, with soils rich in mica-schist and iron oxide. The old vines and measured, perfectly tailored aging allow a dense and radiant fruit to shine, set on a solid structure with powerful yet masterfully orchestrated tannins. This is a terroir-driven wine of admirable quality and intense complexity. |
