Why we stock it

Taittinger's prestige cuvee, made from grand cru Chardonnay alone and only in declared vintages. It is the reference point for blanc de blancs.

We stock it because blanc de blancs is a distinct style, and the prestige shelf should represent it properly rather than leaving it to the Pinot-led houses.

Delivery Sydney metro. Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the finest expression of the world famous wine from one of the greatest Champagne Houses. First produced in 1952, Comtes is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from 6 Grand Cru sites in the Cité de Blancs. Showing a pristine pale yellow colour with very light, abundant bubbles which rise uniformly to form a fine mousse. The evocative bouquet opens with notes of pears and fresh cute white flowers. Left in the glass for a time, the nose develops a richness and density of pure character. Once on the palate, Comtes is lively, direct and precise with flavours of candied lemon zest and fresh pineapple. The balance is something to behold. This Champagne's marriage of finesse and aromatic intensity is a promise of further potential, but already offers very pleasurable drinking.

    Champagne Deutz Amour de Deutz Brut Millesime 2011

    We stock it because the prestige champagne shelf should not be only three houses deep. Deutz sells on what is in the bottle rather than on the strength of its label, which is exactly why it belongs here.

    Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque Blanc de Blanc

    We stock it because a serious champagne list needs a top to it. Most of the shelf turns over on Moet and Veuve; this is the bottle for the anniversary, the milestone birthday and the gift where the box matters as much as the contents. One or two move a month, and their absence is noticed more than their presence.

    Krug Vintage

    We stock it because vintage Krug is close to the top of what can be bought in champagne. It sells rarely, and it sells to people who know exactly what they are asking for.

    Dom Perignon Rose

    We stock it because it is the top of the gifting range. At this price the buyer is not comparing bottles, and there are perhaps three names that qualify.
