Racine

The Racine Pinot Noir brings together Burgundian Bruno Lafon, owner of Domaine Magellan in the Languedoc-Roussillon and Francois Chamboissier from Bordeaux to this special place in Southern France. Lafon knows a thing or two about French wines, growing up making wines with his brother Dominique at the ultra-premium Domaine Comte Lafon Estate in Meursault. He moved to the Languedoc in 1998 to start his own winery. While Lafon’s wines carry the Vin de Pays moniker because his vineyards lie outside officially preferred real estate such as the Coteaux du Languedoc, his quality is on par with that of some of the best Coteaux estates.
