In 1976, French businessman, former diplomat and eternal member of the New York celebrity jetset, Nicolas Feuillatte returned to Champagne to establish this extraordinary champagne brand. In 1986 Nicolas Feuillatte forged the partnership with Centre Vinicole that has resulted in unparalleled success in the champagne market, now distributed in over 83 countries and one of the top 3 best selling champagnes globally.

The Centre Vinicole growers supply grapes from 2,200 hectares of vines, including more than 450 located in plots that are classed Premier and Grand Cru. The vineyard covers 13 of the 17 Grands Crus in the Champagne area, 33 of the 42 Premiers Crus and 190 of the 321 other crus in the appellation. The Cellar Master and his team of oenologists therefore have an incredibly rich aromatic palette at their disposal.

Rooted in exuberance and impertinence and 30 years young, Nicolas Feuillatte is truly the leading edge in 21st Century Champagne.

The Oldest Wine House in Champagne

In 1584 Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and wine-grower, made still, mostly red, wines from the grapes he harvested from his own vines. In those days, Burgundy & Champagne vied for pride of place at the table of the Kings of France. The reputation of the wine of Aÿ was such that François the First had his own winery built there, which is now owned by Champagne Gosset. Then, in the 18th century the wine made in and around Aÿ began to bubble, and the Gosset family turned naturally to the production of champagne.

Gosset continues to be made in the time honoured traditional methods including hand harvesting of grapes and manual riddling. The blends are made with the best villages (crus) of the Marne region (Grands Crus and Premiers Crus) with an average classification of 95% on the official Cru scale.

Our story begins with our Roman ancestors who perfected the ancient art of blending wine with Mediterranean herbs. Over time the northern Italian region of Piedmont became the centre of this craft: The Alps and fertile soils a rich source of herbs and the cool climate providing light, delicate wines. Later in the Middle Ages, Italian merchants brought rare and exotic botanicals to the port of Genova creating more complex and distinct aromatic wines.

MARTINI® was born of a partnership between two skilled men, Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi. Together they shared a vision to produce a unique product that would represent the very best in Italian quality and style. Throughout time they sort to create a new formulation for a smoother, more consistent style of aromatic wine. In 1863 they launched their masterpiece to global acclaim and the new company of MARTINI® came into being.

GIMBLETT GRAVELS

The Gimblett Gravels region is New Zealand’s premier red wine area - barren, stony, hot, dry and sheltered. Bordeaux varieties plus Syrah and Chardonnay are typically grown there, but Trinity Hill also grows Tempranillo, Viognier, Pinot Gris and other lesser-known varieties. Well-ripened, low-cropping yields, allhand-picked, plus sensitive winemaking techniques and oak-ageing, produce intense and complex award-winning wines, reflecting The Gravels’ “terroir”.
