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.

Tasting
This 100% Grenache - grown on sandy soils, displays charming and complex aromas of garrigue, freshly crushed raspberries and earthy spices. It bursts with intoxicating aromas of potpourri and ripe cherries. The tannins are soft, giving it a lush and vibrant mouthfeel and a delicate finish that retains a sense of power.
Food pairings
Vieilles Vignes is a versatile wine to pair with food. Due to its spiciness, pure red fruits, fresh attributes and the myriad of different levels of depth and textures, this wine works well with a diverse array of food. Grenache pairs perfectly with grilled and braised meats like beef, veal, pork, chicken and of course game. It holds up well to hearty dishes like cassoulet and it is a good match for subtle styles of Asian cooking.
