Béarn (French pronunciation: [be.aʁn]; Gascon: Bearn or Biarn; Basque: Bearno or Biarno; Latin: Benearnia, Bearnia) is one of the traditional provinces of France, located in the Pyrenees mountains and in the plain at their feet, in southwest France. Along with the three Basque provinces of Soule, Lower Navarre, and Labourd, the principality of Bidache, as well as small parts of Gascony, it forms in the southwest the current département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64). The capitals of Béarn were Beneharnum (until 841), Morlaàs (from ca. 1100), Orthez (from the second half of the 13th century), then Pau (beginning in the mid-15th century).

According to the local archives the oldest evidence of Château Lafitte dates from the 14th century: back then it used to stand as a major traditional farming property in which winemaking was already essential. For over thirty years, the current owners Philippe and Brigitte ARRAOU have worked to give the property its original family spirit through the re-launching of the wine production.The spirit of Château Lafitte favours pleasure and conviviality. Here the “savoir-vivre” comes with the “savoir-faire” thanks to a warm and perfectionist team. Whether by the vineyard, in the wine warehouse or round the table, our purpose is to share and offer the fruit of our generous land, treated in harmony with nature. Château Lafitte Vins de Jurançon offers a small and exclusive production of organic and natural wines. For a visit with a winetasting with Antoine, the son of Philippe & Brigitte, and the winemaker. It is always preferable to call and book your visit. Thank you !

Suspicions in Jurançon, it is a visit as original as unpublished Jurançon vineyard. In a small group or with a family, visitors board a Volkswagen combi or their personal vehicle on the vineyard routes to contemplate the beauty of the landscape, meet local winemakers and try to solve one of the 3 investigations: the murder of a famous oenologist, the theft of a prestigious batch of 6 bottles or the kidnapping of the godfather of the wine route.
