Château Comtesse Lafond is situated in Epernay, on the prestigious Avenue de Champagne and whose symbol of quality and elegance matches the prestigious cuvées dedicated to Comtesse Lafond, ancestor of Baron Patrick de Ladoucette. Historically known as Chateau de Pékin, Chateau Comtesse Lafond is a majestic and unique site that has been honoring wine-making tradition since the 19th century.
Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873) had portraited the Comtesse Lafond as well as Queen Victoria and Elisabeth Empress of Austria as well as many other royal families of Europe. This portrait can be seen today in the castle’s main salon.

Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
