This afternoon tasting opens six bottles that rewrite what "Champagne" really means. From pure Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs to a 20-year-old vintage, from a still Pinot Gris to a red from Bouzy with no bubbles at all.
Discover the breadth, depth, and quiet complexity that Champagne rarely gets credit for.

🏛️ About the Producers
Franck Bonville — A family estate in Avize and Oger on the Côte des Blancs, working exclusively with Grand Cru Chardonnay. Their Blanc de Blancs are mineral-driven, precise, and elegantly restrained.
Laherte Frères — A seventh-generation grower-producer in Chavot near Épernay, farming organically across multiple terroirs. Known for multi-varietal blends, single-vineyard cuvées, and minimal dosage — a reference point for modern grower Champagne.
Dumangin J. Fils — A Premier Cru house in Chigny-les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims, with a focus on vintage-dated Champagnes and extended lees aging. Their 2004 is a masterclass in what two decades of patience can reveal.
Drappier — A historic family house in Urville (Côte des Bar), renowned for Pinot Noir-based Champagnes. Also one of the rare producers of Coteaux Champenois — still wines from Champagne's vineyards that most drinkers never encounter.
Domaine Jean Vesselle — A grower in Bouzy, one of Champagne's most celebrated Grand Cru Pinot Noir villages. Their Bouzy Rouge is a benchmark for still red wine from the region — no bubbles, all structure and terroir.

🍇 About the Producers
- Tolpuddle Vineyard (Tasmania)
Acquired by Shaw + Smith's Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw in 2011, Tolpuddle sits in the Coal River Valley — one of Australia's coolest and southernmost wine regions. The vineyard was originally planted in 1988 and has earned a reputation as a source of world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with extraordinary purity and ageing potential. Often referred to as "Australia's answer to Montrachet."
- By Farr (Geelong, Victoria)
Founded by Gary Farr after decades at Bannockburn and Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, By Farr produces some of Australia's most Burgundian Pinot Noir and most refined cool-climate Shiraz. The Farrside vineyard sits on volcanic basalt soils, delivering wines of structure, depth, and unmistakable sense of place.
- Torbreck & Sami-Odi (Barossa Valley)
Torbreck's RunRig is one of Australia's most celebrated Shiraz bottlings — a Rhône-inspired blend of old-vine Shiraz and Viognier, consistently scoring 97–100 points. Sami-Odi is the personal project of former Torbreck winemaker Fraser McKinley, crafted from a single plot of century-old vines in the Hoffnungsthal sub-region, with 'Little Wine' #14 representing a radical multi-vintage blend across 10 harvests.

🏛️ About
Chateau Mihope — A premium 120-hectare estate in the Helan Mountain East region of Ningxia, established in 2011 by the Midea Group. The late renowned Australian viticulturist Richard Smart identified six distinct microclimates on the property, ensuring optimal vine placement, while French flying winemaker Marc Dworkin serves as chief winemaker.
At 1,100 metres elevation, the vineyard benefits from high diurnal temperature variation, abundant sunshine, and a dry, windswept climate, producing highly acclaimed wines particularly celebrated for its Marselan, Viognier, and Cabernet Gernischt.

🏛️ About Viña Ijalba
Founded in 1975 in Logroño, Rioja. Owner Dionisio Ruiz Ijalba planted his first vines on a reclaimed gravel pit and built one of Rioja's most distinctive estates, 90ha farmed organically on alluvial and stony clay soils. In 1998, Viña Ijalba became the first ecological winery in Rioja. They are pioneers in rescuing nearly forgotten native grape varieties such as Graciano, Maturana Tinta, Maturana Blanca, and Tempranillo Blanco and one of the only producers bottling them as single-varietal wines. Their experimental vineyard holds over 100 different varieties, seventy of which are native to Rioja.
