Chandon Non-Vintage Sparkling Brut
This is the Australian benchmark for bubbles in this price range and will hold its position as the ever-reliable party favourite. A racy, acid belt slices through the palate of fresh grapefruit and lemon gelati. Squeaky clean and smooth til the end with an endless stream of fine bubbles. 94 Points James Halliday.
Chandon Vintage Brut Sparkling
Fine and fresh delivering serious quality while still promoting a frivolous side. Chandon's Vintage has the depth of character that makes you sip, pause and reflect on its complex bakery notes, freshness and citrus fruit, while still enjoying its more obvious strawberry and cream character.

This lighter bodied Blanc de Blancs tastes excellent with sashimi, sushi, and foie gras terrine.

Pinot Noir, Gamay and a touch of Chardonnay Maison Veuve Ambal was founded in the heart of Burgundy in 1898, by Veuve Marie Ambal, widow of a Parisian banker. Marie returned to Rully to join her brother, wine lover and wine broker, at the time "method traditionelle" was being introduced for sparkling wines. The wines immediately gained recognition, and her grandson Charles Roux Ambal, followed by his grandson and current President Eric Piffaut, have continued to build on Marie's philosophy of quality, and the combination of tradition and modernity which is the signature of Veuve Ambal. With over 200 hectares of vineyards across Burgundy, mainly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Veuve Ambal remain leaders in the production of Cremant de Bourgogne today.
