Domaine Claude Lafond is a family estate of 3 generations established in Reuilly, and now run by Nathalie Lafond. His father Claude is involved in the extension of the appellation, increasing its size from 48 to 280 hectares. The estate is composed of 33 hectares in Reuilly and 3 hectares in Valençay, and started its organic conversion in September 2021. Since 2022, the vineyard is no longer worked with a tractor, but with a horse. Next step : production of nature wines !
