One family, one passion
Jean-Michel’s sons Olivier, Laurent and Jérôme, continue to build on his legacy and in turn have brought their own children, the sixth generation, into the fold. The like-minded spirit from one generation to another brings them together and each family member is passionate about sharing the experience and insight they have gained. They strive to reveal site expressiveness, draw the blood of the earth and produce wines with a strong personality.
Winegrowers first and foremost
With each new acquisition, the Bonfils family demonstrates its expertise as winegrowers. Each estate is carefully scrutinised – its location, the soils and the impact of the elements such as the sunshine, wind and temperatures – so that each vineyard site can fully achieve its potential. They have no qualms about uprooting vines and planting different grape varieties, like at Domaine de Cibadiès where Chardonnay and Pinot noir show incredible expression.
This expertise has enabled them to ratchet up their progress in developing vineyards. Château Capitoul, which was acquired in 2011, is a perfect illustration of how they have successfully enhanced sense of place. In 2015, La Clape became the first appellation within the AOC Languedoc category to secure recognition as a stand-alone appellation for its red and white wines.
