2019 Dominique Gruhier Cremant de Bourgogne Extra Brut
Offer: $42 

This tastes better than 100's of champagnes! It is astonishingly great: dense, rich, elegant, dry, tangy, and with a persistent creamy moose. It's is a chardonnay and pinot noir blend, 100% barrel fermented and aged for 8 months in old oak (400 and 600 lt barrels) then given traditional bottle fermentation and ageing for 30 months. 
The flavour and colour suggests chardonnay is the dominant player here. White fleshy fruits sit behind a marine-inflections and a wealth of yeast autolysis richness. This wine is not just geographically but also stylistically situated halfway between Chablis & Champagne. The palate is all finesse, and the 4 g/L dosage rounds out the mouthwatering acidity and chalky minerality. Not your average Cremant de Bourgogne! 

Driven by the knowledge that Tasmania creates sparkling wines of detail and precision, dubbed “Australia’s Sparkling Queen”, Natalie has devoted her career to crafting exquisite wines. That passion led her to establish Bellebonne to solely focus on creating Australia’s best sparkling wine.

Now that all sounds like a bit of a marketing blurb, but I was blown away by my first taste of her Rose when in Tasmania lately, and then when I met Nat a few weeks ago, I was even more awe-struck by her passion, drive and burning desire to make great bubblies! She is a machine!

 2020 Bellebonne Vintage Rose
RRP: $79 | Offer: $74 

"Pipers River pinot noir from four rows of vines, fermented in eight-year-old barrels with 100% mlf. Early picked for the aromatic purity it provides, and it really shows. A beautiful salmon hue with a fine energetic bead and mousse, stunning aromatics of redcurrant, wild strawberries, red apple and raspberry with notes of mushroom broth, fresh pastry, crushed river stone and light creamy notes. Super savoury and pure, gentle tannin texture from the barrel ferment and a long, harmonious finish. Gorgeous drinking."-  96 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

2016 Bellebonne Vintage Blanc de Blancs 
RRP:$112 Offer: $99 

"100% chardonnay from a single vineyard in Pipers River. Fermented in four 8-20yo barrels, full mlf and aged 5.5 years on lees; 4.1g/L dosage. Pipers River chardonnay has a personality all of its own, contrasting the tension of cold winds whipping across from Bass Strait, with a generosity of fruit and body. Natalie Fryar plays the creamy texture of barrel fermentation and lees age to seamlessly marry the two. Pineapple, fig and grapefruit meet the subtle beginnings of brioche and vanilla nougat. There's an inherent phenolic grip to this season, well embraced here by silky texture on a lingering finish." - 95 points, Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion
