RESPONSABLE by Famille Bruno Lafon Bruno, Sharon and Alice Lafon, was created as they worked late into the night in the cellar during the 2020 harvest : they talked about their vision of a more upscale, elegant yet expressive organic wine that was truly responsible, sustainable and organic. Responsable respects the environment thanks to its recycled and recyclable packaging, light bottle and label with a recycled paper. It is certified organic, and made in the complete respect of the environment and the wine. Responsible production every step of the way!
