Domaine Dujac has always held a dear spot in Australian hearts. Established in 1967 with an inaugural release in the disastrous 1968 vintage, the estate has incorporated a slew of increasingly prestigious holdings over the years, while becoming a home-away-from home for many Australian trainees, some among our most illustrious craftspeople. Its forward-thinking, international air-a rarity in what can be a sternly parochial region-is manifest in the Domaine’s full embrace of organic viticulture. Like DRC, Dujac is a strong advocate of the inclusion of whole-bunches in the fermentations, although the approach is more flexible than in the past depending on the degree of lignification. Among Burgundy’s upper tier, the Morey Saint Denis is benchmark: plump, succulent and more Chambolle red fruited than Gevrey-meaty.

Chris Ringland Hoffman Shiraz 2006 is a wine for the connoisseur. The palate is complex, with flavours of smoke, liquorice, blueberry and toasty oak on a savoury, super-ripe and gentle structure. For the 2006 vintage, the wine was then aged in new French oak for five years, before blending in preparation for bottling. It's impeccably aged and drinking beautifully now or until 2020.

Made from fruit grown in ultra close planted vineyards Bass Phillip wines are eerily like Pinots from Burgundy. Fully mature now, the wine has lovely spice and earthy characters ready to be enjoyed now.

Bouchard Pere and Fils is the largest vineyard owner of grands crus and premiers crus in Burgundy. Corton is the only red Grand Cru in the Cote D'Or.
