His idea: the diversity of different terroirs and the elegance of the Drouhin style. He chose grapes from parcels situated near the top of the slopes, high up, close to the forest. He is a nature lover and so called his wine \"LaForêt\" (the forest in French). He then set out to conquer the market and fortune favoured him\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe name LaForêt (pronounced \"La-fo-ray\") is synonymous with quality.
