Bruno Lafon came of age at his family’s Burgundy estate, soaking up generations of incomparable viticulture. Since 1999, Bruno has used his knowledge and skill to create excellent wine in the South of France for a fraction of the cost of his family’s Burgundy. Finding inspiration in his long fruitful relationship with the best local producers, he came across this astonishing Blanc de Blancs.

Presentation
The South of France is notable among French wine regions for its consistently fine growing conditions, layered with incredibly varied assortment of terroirs and microclimates, bathed in the shining sun. This idea was our guideline when Bruno produced this wine full of sunshine flavors and fragrant Mediterranean scents, lifted by gentle and airy bubbles.
Winemaking
Traditional winemaking process in stainless vessels with careful temperature control to protect the natural fruit flavors, typical of all varieties. Direct pressing and stalk removal at 5°C. Once the base wine blend has settled and is ready to be made into sparkling, it is transferred into our Charmat tanks where pressure builds up in the tank. Once the wine has reached its target pressure the wine is chilled down in order to stabilize it and left to settle prior to isobaric bottling.
