The younger son of René Lafon, of Domaine Comte-Lafon in Meursault, Bruno grew up in a world of renowned vineyards and spectacular wine. But, on a trip to visit some friends in the south of France, Bruno discovered a sprawling property in the backcountry of the Languedoc that changed his life forever. The soil was incredibly mineral, laden with sandstone and shale. Just 30 km from the Mediterranean, set at 600 ft in elevation and containing some of oldest vines in the region, Bruno saw unlimited potential for making Chateauneuf-du-Pape styled red and white wines. He knew that this unique combination of ancient vines, mineral soil, elevation and proximity to the sea could produce not only fabulously concentrated fruit but aromatically complex and elegant wines that would satisfy any Burgundian.
His rare white wine is a fabulously complex blend of Grenache and Roussanne that brings a unique kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors that are dynamite at any Thanksgiving table. It’s an aromatic fireworks show, just blasting from the glass with anise and mint-scented green apple and white flowers. The Langeudoc Blanc is medium bodied, with a silky mouthfeel and a fine, elegant finish that is both long and mineral.
Like all of Bruno’s wines, it’s a Tuesday nighter with an almost Saturday night-level complexity and for sure, a Saturday night level of distinction and rarity.

Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
