These diverse holdings offer the Brochards a range of soils for crafting wines of depth and complexity.

Originally from Burgundy, Comte Lafond soon acquired vineyards in Sancerre. The vineyards are situated on steep, south-facing slopes surrounding the well-known villages of Sancerre: Bué, Chadoux, Chavignol, and Verdigny. The vines are 25 to 35 years old, and the soil consists of clay, limestone, and silica. No machinery or pumps are used during harvesting and vinification. The estate operates entirely on gravity. Fermentation takes place very slowly in stainless steel tanks for 6 to 8 weeks at controlled temperatures to preserve the freshness and aromas characteristic of the varietal. It then matures on its lees for 3 to 6 months, depending on the vintage, and is stored in tanks with a glazed tile coating where it is refined before release, a process that can take up to two years.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe smell and taste of Comte Lafond Sancerre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The Sancerre Comte Lafond is a vibrant pale yellow with greenish reflections.
