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 his own or his close neighbors, with whom he share the ethics of work well done.
