Australia’s biggest and most exclusive champagne showcase is on the move and this year we are thrilled to unveil our biggest ever series of six events and eight masterclasses showcasing a record line up of 158 cuvées from 37 houses, 6 growers and 7 cooperatives. A record-smashing champagne year... but not all it’s cracked up to be The recent announcement of Australia’s 2015 champagne sales took us all by complete surprise. Shock, actually. Our little country down under registered the fastest champagne growth in any year in history, topping every country on the planet, up by almost one-quarter, popping more than 1.5 million bottles over last year. No other country on earth came close to this explosive growth. Australia’s 2015 champagne sales took us all by complete surprise. Shock, actually. 2015 was a breakthrough year for Champagne. Not only did a long and arduous campaign for UNESCO World Heritage listing finally come to fruition in a unanimous vote from the Committee, it was also the year that Champagne achieved a record turnover globally, finally breaking its pre-GFC high of 2007. No export country contributed to this growth more than Australia, which was singled out by the CIVC for its continued growth on the first page of its publication ‘Les Expéditions de Vins de Champagne en 2015.’ Australia holds strong as the seventh largest champagne market in the world, behind France, the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan and Belgium, and the fifth largest per head of population. All this off the back of tremendous growth since 2009, with an almost three-fold increase in champagne consumption in just six years. With recent exchange rates working against us, such figures are nothing short of astonishing. Taste Champagne raises cheers to our many supporting importers, sommeliers, wine buyers, retailers, media, and most of all champagne-loving public who are due credit for this tremendous result. We feel privileged and proud to showcase this exciting and fast-moving category for you again this year. Taste Champagne 2016 falls at a crucial juncture for champagne in Australia. For all the record-smashing, cork-popping growth of this exceptional year, this country still has a great deal of untapped potential to realise. Globally, Australia remains way behind in embracing the diversity of styles, producers and price points that Champagne has to offer. 2 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Australia remains way behind in embracing the diversity of styles, producers and price points that Champagne has to offer Of Champagne’s top ten markets in 2015, Australia ranked the highest in proportion of non-vintage champagne consumed, lowest in rosé and second-lowest in prestige champagne. Australia’s per bottle champagne spend dropped again, and remains one of the lowest among Champagne’s biggest markets. Perhaps most illuminating of all is the dismal state of grower champagne sales in Australia. Globally, there has long been talk of a Champagne Grower Revolution, but recent trends in Australia point to nothing short of a Grower Crisis. Recent trends in Australia point to nothing short of a Grower Crisis Sales of grower champagnes have crashed by more than half in Australia over the past four years, making us lowest among Champagne’s biggest markets in consumption of growers. In 2015, for the first time in more than a decade, growers dropped below 1% of champagne sales in Australia, a distressing twenty times less than their global average. Taste Champagne has always been a strong advocate of grower champagnes. We have long welcomed and championed growers. This year for the first time we have introduced a boutique table to provide opportunity for more small importers to showcase little champagne houses and growers. Taste Champagne is here to reacquaint you with old favourites and introduce you to a plethora of new and exciting cuvées. Champagne is set for another record-smashing year in Australia, and your discovery starts right here. We are very proud to present the biggest Taste Champagne event series ever on every count We are very proud to present the biggest Taste Champagne event series ever on every count – number of cuvées, number of events and number of guests. This success is thanks to our many supporting champagne houses and agents and our generous supporting partners of Vintage Cellars, Riedel, Antipode, Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine and Vintec. On behalf of the Taste Champagne team of Craig, Jody and Annamaria, I am delighted to welcome you back to the most comprehensive champagne tasting in Australia. Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 3 4 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Low Champagne Spend In 2015 Australia set a new champagne import record of €117.2M in ex-cellar value. However, this represented a decline in per bottle spend, which remains one of the lowest among Champagne’s biggest markets, dipping below that of the United Kingdom this year. Non-vintage Obsession 81% of champagne production is comprised of non vintage cuvées, but Australia’s reliance on this category is much higher, importing 91.9% in 2015, ranking it highest among Champagne’s biggest markets in non-vintage champagne imports. Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 5 House Dominance Australia’s growth in Champagne imports is due virtually entirely to the houses, who comprise 97.1% of all champagnes consumed in Australia, much higher than their global market share of just 71.5%, ranking us highest among Champagne’s biggest markets in dominance by the houses. Champagne houses registered an all-time record growth in Australia of more than 1.5 million bottles in 2015. Of Champagne’s 374 houses, the number Australia imported grew to 103 in 2015, although the country still ranks very low among Champagne’s biggest markets in number of houses imported. The USA enjoyed access to 172 houses last year and the UK 149. 6 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 The Grower Crisis In 2015, for the first time in more than a decade, growers dropped below 1% of champagne sales in Australia, compared with 19.5% globally. Of Champagne’s 4,461 growers, the number Australia imported shrank to just 84 in 2015, ranking very low among Champagne’s biggest markets in number of growers imported. Japan brings in 304 growers, the USA 299 and the UK 216. Those few grower champagnes that do find their way down under largely represent the most celebrated growers, a particularly dynamic and enthralling category of champagne. Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 7 Cooperatives on the Rise Australia’s consumption of cooperative champagnes has exploded more than four-fold over the past three years and very nearly doubled between 2014 and 2015, albeit off a very small base. Cooperatives represent 9% of the global champagne market, though still just 1.7% in Australia. Cooperative champagnes outsold grower champagnes in Australia in 2015 for the first time since 2008. Of Champagne’s 39 cooperatives, the number Australia imported in 2015 jumped to 13, though this still ranks us lowest among Champagne’s biggest markets in number of cooperatives imported. The USA imports 23 cooperatives and the UK 21. 8 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Rosé Revolution? Not yet. Champagne rosé sales globally have grown by an average of 4% every year over the past decade, achieving a record of 9.4% of all champagnes sold in 2015. In Australia, rosé represented just 2.8%, again ranking it lowest among Champagne’s biggest markets in rosé consumption. In the USA, 14.6% of champagne consumed is pink and in Japan, 13%. Nonetheless, Australia imported more bottles of champagne rosé in 2015 than ever before and some houses (most notably G.H. Mumm, the name behind Australia’s best-selling rosé champagne) are targeting this category for growth in 2016. Champagne rosé is elegantly suited to our cuisine and our climate and deserves pride of place in every celebration. Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 9 Vintage Victory Vintage champagne sales decreased globally by 3.2% to just 1.6% of all champagne sold in 2015. Australia’s imports dropped to 2%, the lowest in five years. And yet this still ranks Australia highest among Champagne’s largest export markets in vintage champagne consumption. Vintage is champagne’s most underrated category, miniscule in production and typically a strong step up from entry non-vintage blends, yet largely underappreciated by the mass market. There are great buys to be found in this category again this year, particularly from the scintillating 2008 vintage. 10 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Prestige decline Prestige cuvées increased in volume globally by 13.5% and in value by 20.3% in 2015, now representing 4.9% of all bottles of champagne. Australia didn’t follow this trend, with prestige champagne sales dropping to 1.5%, the equal lowest in recent years. This prompted Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (the force behind Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart and Krug) to launch a prestige focus for its sales teams in 2016. Prestige champagne remains the most affordable and most accessible of all flagship global benchmark wine styles. When was the last time you found a mature First Growth Bordeaux or Grand Cru Burgundy for $300?

Champagne is no different to any still wine, the base grapes are the most important to recognise, once you know the style of the champagne it is very easy to match the glass to them. At Riedel, we recommend drinking Champagne from wine glasses for this reason. Glasses that are shaped like Riesling glasses work perfectly with the lighter more Austere champagnes, Pinot Noir glasses work best with larger more full bodied Champagnes. As the glass is always tailor made for the grape, you can rest assured the Riedel glass will always make a champagne taste so delicious that one glass will never be enough. – Mark Baulderstone, Managing Director, Riedel Australia 58 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Pol Roger The champagnes of Pol Roger are desperately precise, intricately delicate and flawlessly pristine. – Tyson Stelzer Pol Roger Brut Réserve NV en Magnum Sydney & Melbourne only Pol Roger Pure NV Sydney & Melbourne only Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2006 en Magnum Sydney & Melbourne only Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 59 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2008 Sydney & Melbourne only Pol Roger Rosé Vintage 2008 Sydney & Melbourne only Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2004 Sydney & Melbourne only 60 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Taittinger Taittinger’s flagship Comtes de Champagne holds an enviable position among the very finest blanc de blancs, and its non-vintage cuvées have never looked more refined. – Tyson Stelzer Taittinger Brut Réserve NV Taittinger Cuvée Brut Prestige NV Taittinger Cuvée Nocturne NV Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 61 Veuve Fourny & Fils The Fourny brothers manage some of the finest terroirs in Vertus and their pristine champagnes look more pure, precise and fresh with every release. – Tyson Stelzer Veuve Fourny & Fils Blanc de Blancs Vertus Premier Cru NV Sydney & Melbourne only Veuve Fourny & Fils Grande Reserve Brut Vertus Premier Cru NV Sydney & Melbourne only Veuve Fourny & Fils Cuvée ‘R’ Extra Brut Vertus Premier Cru NV Sydney & Melbourne only 62 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Besserat de Bellefon With low pressure and full malic acidity, Besserat de Bellefon creates a long-aged style of expressive mineral structure. – Tyson Stelzer Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines Brut NV Trade only Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines Extra Brut NV Trade only 63 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 Besserat de Bellefon La Cuvée des Moines Rosé NV Trade only Besserat de Bellefon La Cuvée des Moines Brut Millesime 2006 Trade only Besserat de Bellefon Blanc de Blancs NV Trade only Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 64 Henri Abelé The small house of Henri Abelé is the third oldest in Reims, producing supple cuvées of balanced approachability. – Tyson Stelzer Henri Abelé Brut NV Henri Abelé Brut Rosé NV Henri Abelé Brut Millésime 2007 Tyson Stelzer Presents Taste Champagne 2016 64A Consumer Contacts Antipodes Water Company Vintage Cellars Melinda Wright, Business Development Manager Australia P: 0476 840 848 [email protected] www.vintagecellars.com.au [email protected] 1300 366 084 www.antipodeswater.com Taste Champagne Riedel www.TasteChampagne.com.au Alice Lacey, Marketing and Digital Coordinator P: +61 2 9966 0033 [email protected] www.RiedelGlass.com.au Black Events Tyson Stelzer [email protected] Mob 0402 821 230 www.WinePress.com.au www.TysonStelzer.com Craig McDonald www.BlackEvents.com.au Achille Princier, Jeeper DiscoverVin PO Box 44, Ebden, VIC 3691 Australia Ph: (02) 6020 6016 Fax: (02) 6020 6018 Mob: 0414 596 395 Online retail store -
