At Lafitte Cork, we understand that exceptional wine deserves exceptional closures, and that's why our commitment to quality control is second to none. Our rigorous testing process begins long before the corks reach your bottle. Every single cork undergoes a series of stringent evaluations in our state-of-the-art, in-house laboratory to ensure it meets the highest standards.
One of the critical tests we perform is capillarity testing, which examines how well our corks prevent liquid penetration. This is crucial for maintaining the wine’s integrity, as it ensures that the cork remains a reliable barrier against external contaminants while allowing the wine to age gracefully.
By choosing Lafitte Cork, you are not just selecting a closure; you are choosing a commitment to excellence, backed by decades of experience and a relentless pursuit of perfection.

Lafitte is a French family with a reputation in the cork industry for supplying the finest cork for over four generations. Beginning in France, the company moved its major production site to Northern Portugal in 1956, in order to be directly involved in the selection of fine cork from the most thriving and sustainable cork forests in the world. In 2003, Lafitte purchased a second processing plant in Portugal to meet an increasing demand for quality cork production.
"We've set the standard for quality and value
with a commitment to you, our products and the environment."
