Yes this is the same Bruno Lafon that makes some of Burgundy’s most revered wines from his family winery Domaine Comtes Lafon in Meursault.

"Kicking off the Fleurs du Sud journey, we swapped out the bottles for lighter ones, a major eco-friendly stride! This slashes our carbon footprint significantly, cutting down 30g of glass per bottle - that's over a ton less glass per vintage! It's like reducing greenhouse emissions equal to 5,400 km of light vehicle travel for every batch of 30,000 bottles. A small change, a giant leap for sustainability!

Bruno's green revolution continues! Opting for feather-light bottles and ones boasting a whopping 90% recycled glass, his eco-savvy doesn't stop there. The entire Fleurs range is crafted from organically grown grapes, proudly sporting organic certification in France and the EU. Even the labels and cardboard cases get the eco-treatment, printed on recycled paper with planet-friendly inks. It's sustainability in every sip!

Sourced from a diverse selection of vineyards varying in altitude and north-facing orientations, the grapes undergo cold maceration before fermentation. This is complemented by a careful winemaking technique. The wine is then matured in concrete vessels, a process that precedes bottling, ensuring depth and character."
