Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne NV + Champagne Flutes presents one of the house’s most recognisable cuvées alongside elegant glassware designed to enhance the sparkling wine experience. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from more than thirty-five vineyards across Champagne, the wine reflects the house’s refined and delicate style. A notably high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend contributes lift, purity and precision, distinguishing Taittinger from many other Grande Marque producers. Extended ageing in the cellars for a minimum of three years allows the wine to gain complexity while preserving its energetic freshness and fine mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Brut Réserve displays lively citrus, orchard fruit and subtle brioche notes supported by delicate floral nuances and chalky minerality. The palate is supple yet precise, balancing creamy texture with bright acidity and persistent bubbles. The accompanying Champagne flutes elevate both presentation and aromatic expression, making this set ideal for celebrations, gifting or refined aperitif service. Taittinger’s restrained dosage and meticulous blending philosophy result in a Champagne of clarity, harmony and broad appeal without sacrificing sophistication. Approachable in youth yet polished and complete, this cuvée remains one of the benchmark non-vintage Champagnes of the region.

And thus, a star was born.

In 1829, Athanase de Villermont’s vast estate just outside the town of Äy provided the backdrop for the founding of an extraordinary Champagne house - but as an aristocrat, Athanese was forbidden from engaging in commercial trade. With the recruitment of Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, a Champagne merchant, and Paul Renaudin, a Champernois fascinated by the world of wine, the Bollinger legacy began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bollinger style is inimitable and recognised as such by great connoisseurs. It possesses a dense and subtle presence: a balance of the intensity of great Pinot Noirs and the freshness of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. The house’s offerings are rooted in 5 tangible principles: the vineyards; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines; the barrels, and time. Bollinger wines release a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. Every tasting yields new delights that are guaranteed to transport you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBollinger has built its vineyards at the heart of the finest crus in Champagne. 180 hectares of vines are made up of 85% Grand and Premier crus and are farmed by our teams of growers across 7 separate vineyards: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; the Montagne de Reims, Cuis for Chardonnay; and the Côte des Blancs and Champvoisy for Meunier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother of Bollinger’s distinctive features are the two plots of Clos Saint-Jacques and Chaudes Terres. There, ungrafted vines are entirely tended by hand and reproduced using a form of layering called provignage, preserving the extraordinary heritage from which the Vieilles Vignes Françaises cuvée is produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir is the varietal on which Bollinger has staked its reputation. A demanding grape that requires care at every step, it remains front and centre because of the incomparable finesse it brings to a wine. Today, the Pinot Noir planted around the Montagne de Reims represents over 60% of the Bollinger vineyards. This also just happens to be the exact proportion it occupies in Special Cuvée! Multi-faceted and surprising, its unusually high ratio in the blends is a signature of the Bollinger style, to which it lends power, body and vinosity. It has been one of the founding principles of Champagne Bollinger’s identity from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBollinger is guided by a responsibility anchored in time and a commitment to people, the earth and our roots.

It is unusual amongst high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePenfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company's success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold's reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines - the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date - 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMcLaren Vale and Barossa Valley recorded well below long-term average winter rainfall, while the vineyards in the South-East growing districts enjoyed above-average winter rainfall. September temperatures were cool with little rainfall, resulting in some isolated frost events. Summer was generally hot, with high temperatures delaying veraison. The Barossa Valley experienced 31 days of temperatures exceeding 35°C while McLaren Vale experienced 25 days (December to March). Irrigation was crucial to keep vines in good health. The proximity of the Southern Ocean played an important role in moderating temperatures in Wrattonbully and Padthaway, allowing for a high-quality harvest, albeit with smaller yields than average.

The wine’s point of difference within the Penfolds range is that it has no new oak maturation and spends only 12 months in large format seasoned vats. The result is a sophisticated, dark, almost mysterious shiraz, a wine with secrets within that one suspects will reveal great joys over the next 20 to 30 years, as its forebears have proved for more than half a century.

With a focus on the meticulous care of its 100-hectare estate, alongside sourcing grapes from 300 hectares spread across 40 crus in the Champagne region, Billecart-Salmon continues to craft wines that express the very essence of their terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"751\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"751\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"1663\"\u003eAt the heart of Billecart-Salmon’s philosophy lies an unwavering dedication to quality.

I believe this to be the very last cuvée to be released from 2008, the vintage of our lifetimes. Since anointing the 2000 vintage Champagne of the Year in the inaugural edition of The Champagne Guide, I have tasted every top vintage back to 1975, awarding an incredible rolling average score of more than 98 points, a feat achieved by just two other cuvées: Krug Clos du Mesnil and Krug Vintage. This ranks Nicolas-François Billecart in the top three in the world. - \u003cstrong\u003eTyson Stelzer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2008\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billecart-Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41658321141847,"sku":"BSFR08DUO","price":499.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/f580d8f6-3b5c-4fca-a912-36b75bbd9ebd.jpg?v=1744591673"},{"product_id":"billecart-salmon-exceptions-trio-gift-pack","title":"Billecart-Salmon Exceptions Trio Gift Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis luxurious Billecart-Salmon Exceptions NV Trio Gift Pack brings together three exceptional Champagnes, each a testament to the House’s commitment to craftsmanship and excellence.
