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.

Presentation
La Maison Lafon series of wines reflect the inspiration of the vintage and times. Each series is
uniquely personal and will change periodically inspired by a vintage, vineyard or life event. Bruno's Magallana shows all the positive attributes of its age and holds a promise to go the distance of all Grand Vin.

In the vineyard
There are no chemical treatments, and the soil is worked gently all year round to avoid accelerating erosion. And just before the harvest, we limit this work to keep as much moisture in the soil as possible to limit the impact of drought.
All the vines are harvested by hand, and the grapes are sorted in the vineyard.

Winemaking
We press slowly and at very low pressure. The juice is then cold settled and put into barrels. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in Burgundy barrels containing 2 or 3 wines, and we rack the wines after 5 months.
Ageing
Aged in barrels for 5 months.

Tasting
Bright green, gold on the eye. The nose evokes summers of honeysuckle, pear, fresh citrus and almond. This follows through to the palate with added complexity of subtle nots of almond brioche. The mouthfeel evolves with rounded length and fine texture.
Food pairings
This bottling is a food friendly white wine, pairing best with seafood and shellfish, especially the richer varieties like lobster, crab, shrimp, seabass, clams and mussels. Works its magic with a diverse array of cheeses, both hard and soft, and especially with dry got cheese.
