Domaine Magellan, Grenache-Syrah-Carignan, AOC Languedoc, Rouge
Domaine Magellan is located in Magalas, very old village with shaded alleys that breathe the southern art of living, next to Pézenas : it is truly the heart of wine-growing Languedoc. Arriving here, Bruno Lafon was lucky enough to come across remarkable and expressive terroirs - mostly sandstone soils giving aromatic wines with a very fine texture. The result is elegant wines that are expressive and above all, represents the Burgundian origins of Bruno Lafon.
The story
A true flagship of the estate representing the idea of the Languedoc, with South of France grape varieties only : a wine of character and balance.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and transferred to the tank using a conveyor belt. Winemaking is simple and low-tech with no added yeast. Temperature control provides gentle extraction, particularly at the start of fermentation. Each plot is fermented separately and blending takes place throughout the maturation process in Burgundy oak barrels previously used for 3 to 6 wines.
