Jean-Marc Lafage is something of a one off in France, not least because he learnt his craft as a so-called flying winemaker, a career usually reserved for Antipodeans.

To read more about Jean-Marc, have a look at the Domaine Lafage website. You can also follow the winery on Instagram @domainelafage
