Best Champagnes of 2026, Adelaide, 21 November 2026
An extraordinary dinner. Exceptional champagnes. A snapshot of some of the most compelling wines I’ve tasted in 2026.
Join me at Restaurant Esmay in Adelaide for an intimate evening exploring prestige champagnes that have stood out this year - wines that speak to exceptional vintages, distinctive terroirs and very different interpretations of contemporary champagne.
The line-up includes Louis Roederer Cristal 2018, Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 2017, Rare Champagne 2012, Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2014 and Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club Cramant 2016. On arrival, enjoy a selection of premium grower champagnes.
Across a specially created multi-course dinner, we’ll taste each wine at the table and explore what makes it distinctive: the vintage, the place, the winemaking decisions and, most importantly, what is happening in the glass.
From the precision and extraordinary purity of Cristal 2018 to the maturity of Rare 2012, the Chardonnay expression of Blanc des Millénaires and Cramant, and Bollinger’s fascinating exploration of the 2016 vintage with B16, this is a line-up designed to provoke conversation as much as pleasure.
