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.

Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
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
