Pinot Noir Day Collection
August 18 is International Pinot Noir Day.
When you prefer bigger, bolder styles of champagne 100% Pinot Noir Champagne is a wine to be celebrated! Often these champagnes are characterised by a deeper colour and with a more prominent red and dark fruit profile on the nose and palate. This is just a small selection of 100% Pinot Noir.
Win a Magnum Competition!
To add to the celebration, buy any bottle from this collection before midnight Monday 24 August and you'll be in the running to win a magnum of Charles Collin Brut Champagne, worth $159.95. The more bottles you purchase, the more entries you get!
We'll draw the lucky winner on Tuesday 25 August.
