My Life - My Love - My Journey My Mission
I am a devoted enthusiast for the small growers of Champagne; their wine, cuisine, their region, country and culture.
(4)
I strive to enhance their significance worldwide
and cultivate this proud passion to all. My Goal
To grow and enhance the universal recognition and ongoing promotion of the small growers of Champagne, by hosting champagne tastings, private events and organising personalised tours. Winnifred’s ‘une maison’ strives to develop an understanding and respect of small grower wines and terroir, whilst sy
mbolising warmth and education over an enlightening enchanted moment. Together lets savour the taste of Champagne’s charm. Winnifred
Was gracious, giving, held compassion, strength of character and brought peace and friendship to all. Her house was warm, welcoming, perfumed of baked brioche and biscuits, it was a house of blessings and non-judgemental unity. She now rises with the vivacity of each mornings light, softly sails through the trees’ breeze, smiles beyond the stars’ sparkle and subtly glows from within the eloquent beads of champagne.. This is Winnifred and I am blessed that she has inspired me. I now welcome you, into the house of Winnifred, and in turn, let me inspire you. My life. My Love. My Journey.

From Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier to glorious definitions of Pinot Blanc, this was undeniably, a beautiful, generously prominent afternoon, as we shared our love for the diversity and richness of region Champagne ♥️
Thank you so very much Geoffrey, Nico, Charles, Guillaume and Benoit for placing us in the void of questioning the enigmatic wine and life before us ♥️✨
🇦🇺♥️
This was a gastronomic discovery as we were taken to the 45 year old meunier vines of Vrigny 🍇The regal richness of colour says it all, as we embarked on a journey through powerful layers of blackberrys, blueberry, cherry fruits, to dark chocolate, liquorice, earthy characters, as hints of sweet plum smoke, gunpowder revealed a unique character of Les Fourgons and its soil of place. This remarkable wine prominently illustrates a strength of character and how their still wines are beautiful on their own, but are wholeheartedly worthy and marvellous to be paired with food ♥️
Thank you so very much Dominique, Dominique, Clémence and Valentin - An absolutely gorgeous wine ♥️

Unbelievably so good, so juicy and fantastically delicious 😍 Thank you so very much Cyril and Clémence for a wine that is so powerful in personality from fruits, salinity, fine oyster, flint - place. Mandarins, plums, wild berries, white cherries, to blushes of cognac and caramelised pineapple - Instinct Meunier Is voluptuous, mouth fulfilling, but so bright that completes your heart with a depthness of warmth and character that transmits you to their special place ♥️

A truly remarkable afternoon as we spent time with Arthur’s first Coteaux Champenois Rouge of Ludes ♥️ This stunning 2020 was a delicate repertoire, as fine tannins beautifully triumphed balance between elegant fruits, oak and acidity. The underlining complexity of spices, star anise, cherry cocoa, continued far and long as gorgeous refined citrus, tangerine, florals, marvellously interlaced, prevailing a sensual brightness through the body. This Pinot Noir won our hearts, left us speechless and we are so impatient for his next release soon 😂😍
Thank you so very much Arthur ♥️

Amidst the gentle serenity of nature, It was the right moment to be present with a beautifully balanced wine. 2020/2021 is so thoughtfully managed through the most eloquent attentive way. Roland’s Cuvée de Rèserve was a gorgeous reflection of their inspiring works, beliefs, dynamic plant concoctions. The perfume was so fruity, juicy, floral that was powered by sweet nectarines and lemons. There were the most subtle nuances of kumquat bitterness, but it was not overpowering in anyway, as it married so quietly with the crystallised gingers, candied walnuts, to creamed sweet fruits. This wine was just so delicious, and on this Aussie Autumn day, it was so easy to drink and share with great friends.
Thank you so much Roland, Dominique and Jeanne ♥️ And to Sue and Roger of Living Wines for this very special gift ♥️

As you hold each Champagne from Florent Douge, his wines delicately flourish with great intrigue that thrives of Neuville-Sur-Seine right in your hands.
Florent holds 12 plots over his village, and as you take a journey over his living soils, each wine performs in the most magnificent way, as you dive deeper into the identity of each of his cuvées.
Florent never negotiates on quality and respects the planet’s entirety. When I read Florents recent post, it was only fitting to share his conviction with you, that help illustrate why you always feel so free and close to nature when you spend time with his wines.
< 🌱 Be in tune with biodiversity.
🍇 Our territory is sacred, and all of these actors are of utmost importance. Collaborative work is not just about the work done with the vineyard, it is about collaboration with its entire ecosystem.
Protecting species and plants is more than a goal, it is a duty >
Florents wines speak volumes, perfuming with an aromatic evolution, that gracefully welcome a gorgeous salinity, a warming pastry mouthfeel, profound depthness, a delicate brightness, lightness with an enduring fruit elegance.
Thank you so very much Florent for always welcoming me so sincerely to your home. I can’t wait to see you and your vines again very soon 😍♥️

A short getaway to the coast with Coteaux Champenois of Avize 🤩💛
I have always deeply enjoyed Florent & Julien wines for many years now - And as anticipated 🤣 2019 was unbelievable, next level, outrageously good 😍 It holds a massive richness of depth, a refined minerality, layers of stone fruit cream. There is a freshness of wild floral pastures, generous mature citrus fruits, fields of camomile, delicate shades of vanillas and crystallised gingers that eloquently integrate amongst the soft oak nuances. This wine warms your heart that bestows a gracious roundness until the end.
Thank you so very much Florent and Julien 💛
And Alex of - Their exclusive importer for Australia - Thank you so much for this remarkable gift 💛

In a few months time, the stunning character and tremendous fruit expression of 2019 will arrive into Australia, ready to embrace your homes 😍🥂
Prominent aromas of orchard fruits, paw paw to cashew flower, leads into shades of figs, quince, white cherry, mandarin, as a precise mineral structure and soft layers of cream build a sophisticated frame. There is a great finesse, intensity and elegance about Alex’s wines and we love him for that here in Australia 🇦🇺♥️
Thank you so much Alex !!!

Our hearts our an excitable abundance, as we patiently wait for Simon’s bottles to arrive later this year onto Australian shores 😍 Each wine portrays a powerful reflection of his village - A strong fruit vibrancy, personality, a gorgeous structured vinosity and above all, identities of generous, complete deliciousness 😍
Thank you so very much Simon ♥️

Well - What a morning, a morning so special as we spent time with this phenomenal wine along the banks of the Brisbane river.
A blend of 2011/2012/2013 that was potently prominent of Lassaigne in all its crazy, complexly rich, unbeatable characterful ways.
The intense curry / saffron aromas led your palette to a stunning structured juiciness that magnificently balanced savoury, salty to sweet pineapple and tropical fruits. As hours passed, fine brandy / apricot schnapps enhanced its powerful presence, reinforcing the deliciousness of Emmanuel’s style and why we are always so copiously happy when we drink his wines 😍♥️
Thank you so much Emmanuel

Aussie’s on Tour 🇦🇺😍
Thank you so much Megan !!! It has been such a special experience to meet three Champagne Grower Producers and hear about how they make their specialist, delicious craftsmanship.
We visited some of their glorious vineyards, beautiful basket press, very fortunate to receive a fascinating discovery of their cellaring arrangements and detailed descriptions over their winemaking facility - They were all so generous with their time and expertise.
We tasted lots of different and truly beautiful Champagnes - This was a state of the art experience and we thank you for sharing this unique part of the world with us.
Thank you so very much Sebastien & Carole, Nathalie and Clémence & Cyril for welcoming our Aussie Champagne lovers with all your warmth and friendly gentille nature ♥️
♥️🥂
This distinguished afternoon spent with La Haute Lemblé was so dignified in all its eloquence. An outrageously elegant wine that floated through you with everlasting waves of poised silhouettes. Harmonious exotic fruits, complex orange spiced cardamom, pineapple, fine lemon layers of saffron infused cream - 2019 moved your mind to a surreal place of dreamy wonder.
Thank you so very much Cédric for such a fine wine that one is so richly fortunate to meet and spend time with 💛

Thank you so very much Guillaume & Aurore for posting us across the skies such a delicious moment of salivating goodness 🤩 This stunning, elaborate wine of glory, continued to impress and show all its beauty.
Orchard fruits, creamed lemon butter, beeswax, lathered your mouthful, as a bright zesty citrus zing harmoniously interlaced the rich oaky, ginger spice influences. Lieu-dit, Vieux Fombrés is big, bold, beautiful and my goodness, what an honour it was spending time with such a symphonic, powerful version of Chardonnay 💛

An incredible insight as I continue to show what is the real daily work of biodynamic winemakers in Champagne. With such a climate: Their convictions, beliefs, willpower, respect, is becoming a luxury. < There are battles fought in which few people perceive meaning or usefulness, except those who fight them together in anonymity. Why are they being led? The question we didn’t ask ourselves this morning at 8:00 am when Etienne, Stéphane, Arnaud left for this long day, of noise, rage, rain, mud, very passing lightness and fatigue. And yet we did it, without hesitation. We did it because we chose to lead a field in bio and biodynamics. And when since November 2023 it hasn’t been a week without rain, you can imagine a mushroom relishing the excess moisture on the vine: mildiou. And in bio, no miracle product, only copper with small repeated doses allows to limit the development of the pathogen. 10 mm of rain and to start the copper spraying again. But what to do when it rains every day with daily accumulations of around 20 or 30 mm? No choice, caterpillars allow to enter the vines when a tractor would risk getting stuck on the first wheel turns despite the grass we leave between the rows. So yes, the vineyard suffers from these mildew attacks, men and women suffer from having to do this aggravating work of all days to protect a plant “with bows and arrows and not nuclear weapons”. We chose it and we are not complaining, we are proud of it while staying humble in front of a nature beyond us. > Thank you so very much Etienne for helping us understand your daily life and what you do to make the most natural wine possible while respecting nature and protecting the planet for our children. @champagneetiennesandrin #etienneaandrin #champagneetiennesandrin #champagnebiologique #demeter #organicwines #biodnamicwines #biodynamie @champagnesbiologiques @biochampagne #growerchampagne #regionchampagne #winnifreds #respect #protect #australia 🌱♥
