Diversity of Wine Tasting in Languedoc
VIGNOBLES BONFILS INTERPRET THE DIVERSITY OF THE LANGUEDOC ROUSSILLON. A DIVERSITY OF ESTATES, VINEYARDS AND WINES. A DIVERSITY OF TASTES
We want our estates and their vineyards to be a perfect expression of this diversity and for our wines to reflect the personality of each terroir, with respect for nature and authenticity. Diversity also holds the promise of pure flavours, those of our wines.
Finally, diversity is cultivated in the rebirth of heritage and people, through wine tourism projects and social responsibility.

VIGNOBLES BONFILS, WINES BASED ON 150 YEARS OF HISTORY
Creativity and the quest for excellence are passed on from generation to generation. In the 19th century during the exile of Joseph Bonfils, Honorine Dorveaux, his future wife, launched the farm with numerous vineyards. She then planted relentlessly, without knowing that she was growing the Bonfils' legacy.
A visionary, Jean-Michel Bonfils introduced new techniques for working the vines and the cellar in Languedoc Roussillon. He plants Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Languedoc Roussillon, grape varieties still little known in the region. The last twenty years have been marked by the work of Laurent and Jérôme Bonfils, who have made a major contribution to making Languedoc Roussillon a land of elite wines. Today Laurent Bonfils, who has taken over the management of the company, with his winemaking expertise, has set himself the mission of nurturing the singularity of the wines of each estate.

Our eco-commitments
We implement sustainable cultivation methods capable of producing quality wines.
The Bonfils family has selected the most beautiful terroirs of Languedoc Roussillon. Passionate about wine, they have shaped the most promising lands. They have parcelled out the terroir, favoured the hillsides and chosen the best exposures. Their legacy is much more than a vineyard, it is a resistant buttress, a preserved peninsula and many other sites where nature expresses itself and offers exceptional wines.
Our eco-commitments rest on 4 essential pillars :
