FAMILLE BRUNO LAFON

Artisanal Winegrower and negociant in Languedoc



Magellan was founded in 1999 in Magalas, near Pézenas in the heart of the Languedoc region. Bruno Lafon, the owner's Burgundian roots, was quick to recognize the potential of terroirs and grape varieties. He creates blended wines that are not very Languedoc, but rather fresh and fruity, thanks to vinification methods from his native region and the choice of early harvest to preserve acidity. Magellan and Le Fruit Défendu are the estate's pioneering wines, and are rapidly becoming a success. In 2020, Bruno was joined by his wife Sharon and daughter Alice to form Famille Bruno Lafon. The 3 have strong characters and very different backgrounds, but they share the same passion for wine. Together, they first created the rare cuvées “La Maison Lafon”, and today they invite you to discover their first personal cuvées, where each wine represents the history, personality and taste of each of them. Bruno, after more than 40 years in the business, has decided to free himself from all the commercial rules and shackles, to create wines in total freedom; for Sharon, her wines represent her journey from her native Zimbabwe, to South Africa and now here, while Alice's passion for pastry cannot be denied in her wines.
