Christophe joined LAFFORT® in 2014 as the rosé advisor.
After a Brevet de Technicien Supérieur (BTS) in viticulture and a degree in quality management, he continued his academic studies at the Toulouse School of Agronomics, where he was awarded his National Degree in Oenology (DNO).
Working abroad, Christophe had the privilege of working in Mexico in the oldest vinification cellars on the American continent. On his return to France, he worked for several years as a cellar manager in Provence, a region well-known for its high-quality rosés.
His knowledge of vinification and the rosé market made him a natural choice as our rosé advisor when he joined the LAFFORT® South-East team as area manager for Provence.
Wherever you are in the world, Christophe will help you make the rosé that is most closely in line with your wishes and the needs of the market.
Sparkling wines
The production of high-quality sparkling wines is the result of a succession of stages that have to be optimised to ensure that you achieve your chosen objective. Today, the sparkling wine market is changing rapidly; new trends are emerging, wines are more typical, with more specific character.
For each stage, LAFFORT® has built up its LAFFORT® SPARK range with products that are the most suitable for the production of traditional sparkling wines and wines catering to the new trends.
