The wines are selections made in the prestigious wineries they advise and where original and sometimes surprising blends arise.
The Maison produces the range Olivier & Lafont. Through this range, they produce precise, elegant and delicious wines, wines of intense pleasure, reminiscent of the delicacy and sweetness of ripe fruit with suave sensations.
