The Grande Borie
Vineyard was founded in 1925 by M. Fontanet Lafon, Senior.
The property only produced sweet white
wines and two hectares of the original vines still exist.
In 1960, his son, M. René
Lafon (current partner) took over the property. He started planting
red grape varieties and replanted some of the parcels of white which
are still used today.
In 1988, M. Claude Lafaye (son-in-law
and current manager) took over management of the 13 hectare property.
In 1989 he bought 7 hectares
of Sémillon (white) which was planted in the 1950s and which still
produces today.
In 1994, he bought 10
hectares of vines including 6 of Sémillon dating from the 1950s and
4 of 15-year-old red.
