Le Sud
Le Sud is a joint project between the Burgundian Bruno Lafon owner of Domaine Magellan in the Languedoc, and François Chamboissier from Bordeaux in a project in the south of France where they seek out great parcels of vineyards, old vines where possible.
Lafon moved to the Languedoc in 1998 to start his own winery, Domaine Magellan, with his sister-in-law, Sylvie Legros. Lafon, whose brother Dominique oversees the famed Burgundian estate of Comtes Lafon, handles the vineyards and winemaking while Legros runs the business side. 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.
United Cellars import the Le Sud wines, which include a Cotes du Rhone and a delicious rosé, both selected for their ripe fruit, light tannin profile and immediate drink-ability.
