"From Rhône, Côtes-de-Provence, and beyond, the wines in Lafon's line characterize French winemaking. They are unique, generous, fruity and have the ability to surprise you. By reflecting their origin and retaining pure fruit expression, they emanate a refined elegance that's indicative of the terroirs they're grown in. Lafon's ability to intertwine influences from old and new French winemaking styles is how he can keep producing such pleasurable wines." Martha Stewart | https://marthastewartwine.com

Tasting
Subtle, fruity yet elegant, this richly concentrated red blend features distinctive green olive and peppercorn aromas alongside cherry fruit. It's silky and elegant on the palate. Effortless but concentrated, this organic wine is balanced by fresh acidity and fine, firm tannins, with a long finish.
Food pairings
This wine is meant to elevate a meal, so Bruno likes to pair it with simple, comfort food dishes like burgers, roast chicken, and grilled meats as a lot of people pick up hearty aromas in the wine that flatter any steak you toss on the barbecue.
