Bouchard Père et Fils 1er Cru Clos St Landry is known for its subtle, yet arresting, aromas, expressive palate, and remarkably smooth finish. The vineyard, planted over limestone and clay with marls, benefits from a southeast aspect and spans 1.98 ha. From hand harvested fruit, the wine is pressed to stainless steel for 3 to 4 month, before being transferred to French oak (up to 15% new) where it matures for 9 to 10 months.

Étoile is the ultimate expression of CHANDON: an ambitious passion project that redefines Australian luxury. Twenty-five years ago, winemaking Director Dan Buckle, had a first taste of the great wines of the world he had previously only dreamed of. A new benchmark for Australian sparkling 25 years in the making. The finesse and complexity opening a new vista of what was possible. With Étoile, this dream is realised: a multi-vintage composition based on eight Chandon Vintage Brut reserves, together representing hundreds of base wines and rounded out with extended ageing. It reflects the ceaseless quest of the Chandon community of past and current winemakers to create the most exceptional sparkling wines. It’s a toast to the free thinkers, the pioneers, the stargazers. Étoile considers the wealth of what can be achieved when free of the limitations of singularities. By focusing on the blend, Chandon have crafted a finely tuned cuvée with no rough edges, that shines like a polished gem. Étoile is about balance, length of palate and complexity drawing from the art of blending.
