Penfolds Bin 707
Bin 707 is a Cabernet Sauvignon reflection of Grange, intensely-flavoured fruit, completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak, expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 when fruit was directed to other wines, nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003 or 2011 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available). Full bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australias finest Cabernets.

Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 1er cru classe
One of the most famous - as well as one of the most expensive - wines in the world, Chateau Lafite Rothschilds history dates back to 1235, by which time, it is believed, the vines were already planted and thriving. Nearly 1,000 years later it still retains the name of its then-owner Gombaud de Lafite. It wasnt until 1868 that the Rothschilds came to become the Chateaus owners, after it was sold at public auction in Paris - and it remains in their hands today. Producing an elegant Paulliac wine, Chateau Lafite is renowned for its characteristic blend of rich dark fruit with spicy, savoury and earthy notes of cassis, tobacco, and truffle. The 2016 earned sterling reviews, with James Suckling scoring it a perfect 100 and speculating on its standing as Perhaps the greatest Lafite since the legendary 1959.

Trimbach Clos Ste Hune Riesling
Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition Bourbon Whiskey
In the 1830s the Woodford County distillery was the setting for a series of discoveries and innovative practices that would define the bourbon industry for generations to come. Today that pioneering and innovative tradition is embodied in the Woodford Reserve Distillery's Master's Collection. A tradition beginning when Master Distiller James Crow joined distillery owner Oscar Pepper to create the first true Kentucky bourbon whiskies. Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition is crafted by uniquely finishing the most complex and balanced Kentucky Bourbon in select XO Cognac barrels. Sourced by Woodfords Master Distiller Chris Morris, each barrel has seen three seasons of cognac before being filled with Woodford Reserve. The result is the best of both spirits – a balance of crisp American and French oak notes, complex fruit character, subtle spiciness and a creamy confectionery finish. Presented in a bespoke Baccarat decanter, Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition is the ultimate expression of American Whiskey at its finest. This bourbon has aromas of rich toasted oak dusted with chocolate and cocoa notes, creamy vanilla bean, and hints of clove and cinnamon spice cover a deep layer of dried fruit and citrus peel. The palate has elegant vanilla, dark chocolate, dried fruit and creamy caramel top layers of rich malt and oak. A velvety finish with a long delicately spiced caramel mocha note.

Maker Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is one of Burgundy’s most revered and meticulously run estates. The domaine traces its roots back to Sylvain Cathiard’s grandfather, who founded the estate in the 1930s, with Sylvain’s father, André, expanding it further. In 1985, Sylvain took over the domaine, followed by the addition of his son, Sebastien, in 2006. Today, Sebastien runs the domaine, having built upon the legacy of his forefathers, and brings a fresh perspective that has elevated the domaine’s wines to global recognition. The estate spans 5 hectares across Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, and a small parcel in Romanée-St-Vivant, one of Burgundy's rarest Grand Cru sites. Sebastien and his wife, along with a small dedicated team, carry out all vineyard work with meticulous care. The domaine practices organic viticulture, although they have not sought formal certification.

These wines are celebrated for their harmony, precision, and exceptional ability to age, offering a unique expression of Burgundy’s terroir. Philosophy Sebastien Cathiard’s philosophy is rooted in his deep respect for the land and the natural expression of each vineyard. His approach to winemaking is one of minimal intervention—letting the fruit speak for itself. The wines are de-stemmed entirely, cold-macerated, and fermented using indigenous yeasts. Sebastien emphasizes the importance of oak in shaping the character of the wine, using a judicious balance of new and one-year-old barrels to provide structure without overwhelming the fruit. None of his wines are fined or filtered, allowing them to maintain purity and clarity. His commitment to producing wines of elegance, balance, and precision has earned Domaine Sylvain Cathiard a reputation as one of Burgundy’s top producers. Sebastien’s goal is to craft wines that reflect the unique characteristics of each terroir, capturing both the power and subtlety of the vineyard. This philosophy has resulted in wines that are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, with a limited production ensuring their exclusivity and desirability.
