APPELLATION :
Magellan was born in 1999 thanks to Bruno and Sylvie, who left us in 2018. In 2020, Bruno is joined by his wife Sharon and daughter Alice.
Anecdotes about the domain
In 1999, Bruno creates blended wines that are not very Languedoc, but rather fresh and fruity, thanks to vinification methods from his native region and the choice of early harvest to preserve acidity. Magellan and Le Fruit Défendu are the domaine's pioneering wines, and are rapidly becoming a success.
The domain's short story
Sharon, Alice and Bruno, three strong characters with very different backgrounds who share the same passion for wine. Together, they first created the rare cuvées "La Maison Lafon", and today they invite you to discover their first personal cuvées, where each wine represents the history, personality and taste of each of them. Bruno, after more than 40 years in the business, has decided to free himself from all shackles and commercial rules, to create wines in total freedom; for Sharon, her wines represent her journey from her native Zimbabwe, to South Africa and now here, while for Alice, you can't help but find her passion for patisserie in her wines.
The winemaker's pride
We love white wines, and our Magellan Grenache Roussanne was one of the first Languedoc whites to undergo malolactic fermentation (since 2011!), giving it a slightly Burgundian air.
