Fruit Defendu Red by Maison Lafon

Region: Languedoc, France

Alc: 13%

Tasting Notes:

A smart blend of Syrah and Cinsault for a juicy result: cherries, strawberries and potpourri, with notes of blackberries and licorice. It is light-bodied and dry with very light tannins.

The Producer:

Bruno Lafon was born in Meursault, Burgundy, in the family estate of Domaine Des Comtes Laton, a small but legendary producer of very high-end Burgundian wines. It goes without saying that he has an exceptional understanding of Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. In Languedoc he found a new frontier with perfect climate and soils to develop several cuvées of top-quality wines without the excessive cost of land now found in Burgundy.
