The property

Having inherited the vineyard from his father Yvon, Gérald Lafont vinifies a confidential production. The estate works in a sustainable way by not using synthetic products and works on reasoned soils. Since 2018, the estate has organic and biodynamic certification.

The vineyard

Vineyard

The grapes come from two different plots:
- a plot of 50-year-old Grenache with fairly clayey limestone soil
- The second plot is located on the Claretière plateau made up of rolled pebbles, sand and red clay and is planted with 40-year-old Grenaches, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault.

Grape varieties

75% Grenache - 10% Syrah - 5% Mourvèdre - 5% Cinsault - AOP LIRAC

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand and 100% destemmed, aging in concrete vats and demi-muids for around 18 months.

Tasting

The robe

Beautiful intense ruby ​​red color

The nose

A complex bouquet with notes of fresh and crunchy black fruit, violet flower and sweet spices. 

The taste

A suave, greedy wine, with very silky tannins. There are notes of fresh black fruit that complete the palate.

Un vin d’amateur!
Tel que décrit, des tanins soyeux, des notes de fruits noir. Sa puissance permettrait de le garder encore quelques années mais nous avons choisi de le boire avec un filet mignon de porc sauce moutarde et un gratin dauphinois. Un régal.
