For 50 years Julien Bouchard dedicated himself to making some of the finest wines in Burgundy. In 1955, without anyone to leave his winery and vineyards to, he chose Albert Bichot to take it on and continue his legacy. A wise choice – Bichot has been rated Burgundy’s best producer of both the region's red and white wines and a number of their releases have become great favourites with our customers. This new release is crafted from grapes from the sunny Mâcon in southern Burgundy, lending lightly honeyed fruit and a bright minerality, with lees ageing for an extra layer of complexity. Rounded and well balanced, it’s one to serve in wide bowled glasses with white meat dishes – creamy chicken pie or pork casserole – or panfried salmon.

"A bell-clear varietal…" Pinot Grigio from Adelaide Hills' Chalk Hill – "… waxy green apple, lemon blossom and lime juice. Dry, with an apt whisper of texture. The finish is long and invigorating. Another seamless and charming white from this address in '25. 93pt, Great Value." (Halliday). “Delicately fragrant… Splendidly structured by bright acidity, offering excellent drinking" Sam Kim Wine Orbit scores it 93pts too.

"A rather lovely Prosecco… a pleasing, lingering style which is vibrant and clean… just 10% alcohol, meaning that a second glass is almost a must. 91pts" (WinePilot) from 4Star-rated Russell & Suitor. Alex studied viticulture at La Trobe and subsequently moved to Mildura. He made wine at Zilzie in '08 and then at Angove Family Winemakers before making his own wines from 2014.

Fresh, lively and flavour-packed 93pt, Great Value McLaren Vale example of a pretty rare Italian grape excellently handled by Chalk Hill's outstanding winemaking team under the brilliant Renae Hirsch. “Arneis was one of the earlier niche Italian white grapes to make an impact in this country, but it is now somewhat shadowed; perhaps as it’s fiddly to farm. But examples like this suggest it’s worth the trouble. This is classically varietal, with green pear, some golden apple, a hint of cool stone fruit and orchard florals. There’s an engaging rip to the acidity, again varietal when picked just right. And this is, with lovely freshness, subtle texture and depth of flavour.93pts Great Value.” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion). John Lehmann, writing in The Australian, loves its "…balance, freshness and long finish. The nose is perfumed with stone fruit, blossom and ripe apple, while the palate is studded with stone fruit – peach and nectarine with citrus." "The growth of Chalk Hill has accelerated after passing from parents John and Diana Harvey to grapegrowing sons Jock and Tom. (Halliday)

Intensely aromatic, showing white flowers, jasmine and fragrant lime. Tightly wound acidity underpins an incredible purity of fruit with fresh finger lime and lemon curd notes. Fine phenolic structure and wet stone minerality provide drive and a crisp, dry finish with great length.

"This has been a distinctive and complex style from Willow Bridge over a number of years, and this one, from a very good vintage, is as good as I have seen. Made traditionally with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, and then three months in French oak. It adds texture and complexity, but in this case, it's certainly not overdone. The vibrant fruit characters of these two varieties still emerge. Slightly smoky, lemon zest notes on the nose, and a palate that's rich and textured with excellent length. A few more years, and this thing would really sing. 94pts" (Ray Jordan Wine Guide). Mike Bennie gives it 91pts, writing in The Halliday Wine Companion: "The barrel seasoning works a treat here, layering in ginger biscuit, cinnamon toast and creamy nougat notes on the more expected sweet citrus, light tropical fruit punch notes of the two varieties. There's a little chalkiness to texture, a brightness of saline minerality in there, too. It does its trick well. 91pts" Jeff and Vicky Dewar established Willow Bridge Estate after acquiring a spectacular 180ha hillside property in the Ferguson Valley, a sub region of Geographe. Under winemaker Kim Horton, many of its wines offer exceptional value for money. James Halliday rated their beautiful winery among his ‘Best Wineries of 2014’ and ‘Dark Horse Wineries of 2013’. This is their popular and great value Dragonfly SBS, vibrant and refreshing, with pure and intense varietal character, lifted lychee, passionfruit and freshly squeezed lime. Enjoy fresh tropical fruits, kiwi fruit and pomegranate on the palate.

Crafted under the expert eye of award-winning winemaker, Alex Russell, expect lemon sherbet on the nose with a dash of citrus blossom and spice. A crispy Riverland Riesling with a fleshy fruit palate and a finish that’s balanced in sweetness and acidity. This is a classic, approachable wine for the discerning crowd.

Picture an historic French château surrounded by a belt of green vineyards. This scenic image is the Château de Bligny estate. Nestled in the heart of the Côte des Bar, Marquis de Dampierre built the property in 1773 on the foundations of a feudal castle. Nowadays it is owned by the Rapeneau family who have revamped the vineyards and renovated the château to its former glory. All winemaking stages are done at the estate – from growing, to fermenting, to ageing. This makes it the only house in Champagne to benefit from the title of château. Crafted from equal portions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bottle-fermented and lees-aged for toasty richness, it’s a perfect celebration fizz or a luxurious treat. Chill down well and enjoy!
