Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable wine), Wine Spectator 90/100
"An intense, powerful wine with an almost black purple color. The aromatic palette reflects the surrounding garrigue, complemented by cherry brandy. The palate combines concentration and freshness, roundness and beautifully crafted tannins. Although it can be served now with a rib of beef, this is still a wine in the making."

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rating (2013 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About wine:

When a Burgundian becomes a Southerner by understanding the specificity of Mediterranean wines and betting on the blending of grape varieties and terroirs (sandstone and gravelly terraces for these Syrah and Grenache grapes), the result is immediate. Thus, for this third vintage in the appellation, Bruno Lafon and Sylvie Legros make a remarkable debut with an intense, powerful wine with an almost black purple color. The aromatic palette reflects the surrounding garrigue, complemented by cherry brandy. The palate combines concentration and freshness, roundness and beautifully crafted tannins. Although it can be served now with a rib of beef, this is still a wine in the making that can be kept until 2014 or 2015.

About the estate:

Bruno Lafon inherited his passion for wine and Burgundian rigor from his father. Captivated by the Languedoc terroir, he joined forces with Sylvie Legros in 1999 to restore this 32-hectare estate, which is run using organic farming methods.
