“In The Image Of Its Time”
Champagne Julien Prélat is a young winery compared to the other Champagnes out there, their story started in 2000, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the winemaking experience, they have 3 generations of winemakers helping to create their sublime Champagnes.

Croissants are widely seen as a French pastry, but you might be surprised to know, they were actually invented in Austria, by August Zang, an Austrian artillery officer in either 1838 or 1839.
