Bruno Lafon believes his wines should first express the utmost respect for the primary material … site, soil and vines. His grapes are produced from single or at the most two organic or converting to organic vineyard sites, where the grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards of our own or our close neighbors, with whom we share the ethics of work well done.
La Maison Lafon series of wines reflect the inspiration of the vintage and times.

It comes from carefully selected arid land vineyards high in the Limoux mountains. The grapes harvested from this unique terroir in the south of France are surprisingly elegant, complex and expressive. Hand-picked, whole bunch fermentation after a period of cold maceration.
Terroir
The soils are light and stony, with a clay-limestone profile, the result of erosion from the surrounding Pyrenean peaks.
In the vineyard
Manual harvesting and sustainable viticultural practices with a minimum of mechanical viticultural practices.
