Presentation
Presentation
Within the expansive Côté Midi collection, Bruno employs distinct labels that capture the essence of the numerous Southern terroirs. Consequently, each label serves as a snapshot of a landscape, with their printing done digitally and in a random fashion. Born under the same Burgundian sun, Bruno Lafon and Chardonnay are like two peas in a pod! Bruno's vineyards, perched up high, create just the right climate for nurturing those delightful aromas and that tantalizing tautness in the wine. They're practically a dynamic duo of altitude and flavor!
The vintage
"I have a soft spot for Chardonnays that thrive on limestone soils, offering a delightful blend of freshness and harmony. With this wine, I've taken a straightforward approach, emphasizing the pure fruit flavors and the unmistakable essence of its origin. Supported by vibrant, tangy fruit notes, this wine is a true standout that promises a thoroughly enjoyable experience." Bruno Lafon
Winemaking
Picture this: It all begins under the cover of darkness as we harvest the grapes. Then, we perform a mystical process of must clarification at chilly temperatures. The transformation continues with a slow fermentation dance inside stainless steel tanks, where temperatures hover at a tantalizing 16°-17°C. And just before the grand finale in the bottle, we give it a gentle, almost cinematic, filtration. The magic behind the scenes of crafting something truly enchanting!
