Founded by Étienne Oudart, the family Champagne house is based in Brugny, in the heart of the Champagne region. Today, the estate remains a small, family-run producer, focusing on expressive Champagnes that reflect the character of its vineyards and vintages.

The Cuvée Juliana Millésimée 2015 is a vintage Champagne named after Juliana, the wife of Étienne Oudart, who played an important role in the early development of the family business. Made from 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier, this 2015 vintage has developed additional complexity through extended ageing, balancing ripe fruit with freshness and a creamy texture.

Founded in 1763, Château Lafitte is a historic family estate located in Camblanes-et-Meynac, just southeast of Bordeaux. Despite the name, it should not be confused with the famous Château Lafite Rothschild of Pauillac. The estate focuses on wines from the Côtes de Bordeaux AOC, combining traditional Bordeaux varieties with careful oak ageing.

The Château Lafitte Héritage 2018 is one of the estate’s special cuvées, created as a tribute to its long history. Made from 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is aged for around 16–18 months in Bordeaux oak barrels, giving it additional structure, depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage was a warm and powerful year in Bordeaux, producing ripe, concentrated wines.

Our Tasting:
Powerful and intensely aromatic, the wine balances sweet vanilla notes with a generous mix of warm spices. Round and commanding on the palate, it reveals dry fruit flavours, a long, almost liqueur-like finish and a slightly sandy tannic texture that leaves the mouth gently contracting. It feels like a winter evening by the fireplace with a good book — warm, rich and comforting.🍷✨
