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

We find all the characteristics of elegant and fresh Syrah: blackcurrant, white pepper; the tannins are very supple and melted
