Established by Nicolas François in 1818, Billecart Salmon is known within France and around the globe for fashioning the most elegant Champagnes, fully rounded Cuvees with the cleanest palate and eternal, seemingly ageless styling. A Non Vintage assemblage of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, expressing characters of biscuit, fruits and nut.

Pinot Meunier like no other, certainly the most distinguished bottling of its kind anywhere in the new world. Mostly old vine Concongella Pinot Meuniere, from grapes picked off parcels established 1970, with the inclusion of a priceless component of ancient vines 1868 Pinot Noir. A legacy of the Victorian Klondike, originally planted with a view to quenching the thirst of pioneer gold miners. Its brooding nose of freshly turned earth, baked spice and potpourri, precede a punchy, savoury palate of gummy red pectin flavours, undulating over a fine, super satin weave of divine, silky tannins.

One of Tasmania's most praiseworthy efforts, Bay of Fires expresses fully the exceptional quality of fruit grown to superior vineyards, nurtured exclusively for the production of world class sparkling wines which exhibit classically structured palates and the most splendid texture. A top shelf effort made to true Methode Traditionelle, Bay of Fires is reverently crafted by the stars of the Hardy winemaking team, rested for years on lees sediment, to develop a luxurious mouthfeel and infuse the wine with elegance, rich fruit character and layers of complexity.

There are very few vineyards which take sparkling wine so seriously as to plant Pinot Meunier, the third grape variety in the holy trinity of the noble Methode Champenoise. Fruit is selectively whole bunch pressed for creamyness and complexity, mollified by malolactic, stirred for palate richness and filled to sediments bottle for three full years yeast lees maturation. Brimming with brioche, apricots and apple flan, its largess of indulgent fruit charactors and beguling perfumes, undulate and evolve along a long, fine bead of crunchy stonefruit flavours, creme fondant and crisp minerality.

The finest Champagne cannot be manufactured, it is created. For Alfred Gratien, the creative process begins right in the vineyard. Alfred Gratien boasts a proud tradition, disregarding the mass produced ethos and fashions of modern times. What you get is a hand crafted Champagne of great quality and uniqueness. Cuvee Brut Classique clearly displays the style of Alfred Gratien. One of very few Champagnes to be dominated by the fruity Pinot Meunier, combined with the masculinity of Pinot Noir and the elegance of Chardonnay.

A boldly Pinot Noir and Meunier dominant Cuvée with just a soupçon Chardonnay, all hand picked off vines grown to a site made famous as one of the first sightings of a Tasmanian tiger Thylacinus cynocephalus. Frogmore Creek at Campania in Coal River Valley yields the finest sparkling wine grapes on the apple Isle. 42° South is given the full luxury treatment, an extended ageing on lees extracts exceptional richness from sediments, to be followed by disgorgement and doseage in true Methode traditionelle.
