🏛️ About Charles Heidsieck
Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, known as "Champagne Charlie" for his legendary charm and showmanship, the house has always been defined by generosity, depth, and an obsessive commitment to reserve wine ageing. Beneath the streets of Reims, Charles Heidsieck's cellars occupy ancient Gallo-Roman chalk crayères, providing the perfect conditions for extended ageing at constant temperature and humidity.
The house's philosophy centres on its reserve wine library, one of the largest and oldest in Champagne. Where most producers age reserve wines for two or three years, Charles Heidsieck routinely draws on stocks spanning decades. The result is a house style of rare richness, complexity, and vinous depth that sets it apart from its peers. Long recognised by critics and sommeliers as one of Champagne's most undervalued grandes maisons.

🏡 The Producers
FARMentation · Run by Luo Yuchen, a former Jade Valley (Shaanxi) winemaker and member of the Young Generation China Wine collective. Works across multiple regions, from old vine Black Muscat in Shaanxi to high altitude vineyards in Shangri-La. His Renaissance Project bottles unfiltered skin contact orange from heritage Muscat. Cha is his cult pét-nat, co-fermented with Jasmine Spring Tea to add aromatics and tannic structure without skin contact. Wines, fruit ferments, and no rules.
Shofang · Founded in 2019 by Shofang Hu and her partner Levi Lee. Shofang inherited her family's vineyard in Qinhuangdao, Hebei, planted in 1990, at a time when neighbours were ripping up vines for higher yielding crops. Trained in Adelaide and McLaren Vale, they brought an Australian minimal intervention approach back to Chinese terroir. Their "Trick or Treat" Tempranillo sees 14 months in old oak. Strawberry lace and licorice from rescued heritage vines where the Great Wall meets the sea.


The Fine Wine Experience invites you to an evening with Jean-Christophe Bernardin, oenologist and passionate ambassador for Domaine Tortochot, who will walk you through seven wines across the evening, each paired with a Burgundy-inspired menu by the BDV chef team.
The lineup focuses entirely on 1er Crus and Grands Crus, with two vintages of Chambertin Grand Cru (2003 and 2020) as the crowning pour of the night. Expect classic pairings like œufs en meurette and bœuf bourguignon.

🏛️ About Domaine Tortochot
Domaine Tortochot is a 12-hectare estate based in Gevrey-Chambertin, now in its fourth generation under the stewardship of Chantal Tortochot. Since taking over from her father, Chantal has converted the vineyards to organic farming, achieving ECO certification in 2013, reflecting her belief that the quality of any wine begins in the vineyard.
In the cellar, grapes are fully destemmed and crushed before a four to five day cold maceration. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeast, and ageing uses 100% new oak on the Grands Crus, 50% on the 1er Crus, and 25% on the village wines. The result is wines built to age, with real concentration and depth that comes through in the glass.
The domaine holds an exceptional portfolio of vineyards across the appellation, including parcels in some of Burgundy's most revered Grands Crus: Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, and Mazis-Chambertin.

🏛️ About the Producer
Château Latour, one of four original First Growths (1855 Classification) in Pauillac, is renowned for producing some of Bordeaux's most powerful, structured and age worthy wines. The Grand Vin is sourced exclusively from l'Enclos, a 47 hectare gravelly parcel of vines averaging 60 years old, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (~90%). Since 2012, the estate has withdrawn from en primeur, releasing wines only when deemed ready to drink.
Les Forts de Latour, first produced in 1966, is sourced from dedicated plots outside l'Enclos acquired specifically for this purpose. With a higher proportion of Merlot (25–30%) and aged in ~50% new oak, it offers remarkable depth and structure while being accessible sooner than the Grand Vin. The estate also produces a third wine, Pauillac de Latour.
