Penfolds, the globally revered winemaker celebrated for its masterful blends spanning Australia, France, and the United States, is redefining luxury with its Middle Eastern debut of Penfolds Champagne Cuvée Brut NV —an exquisite new chapter in its storied legacy.
This collaboration with the family-owned Champagne Thiénot marries generations of expertise, presenting a Champagne designed to spark joy among the world’s most discerning palates.
With a heritage in sparkling wine craftsmanship dating back to Frank Penfold Hyland’s acquisition of the Minchinbury estate in 1912, Penfolds’ latest venture is a true testament to its global vision. Created in collaboration with the Champagne Thiénot team, the Penfolds Champagne Cuvée embodies a seamless fusion of old world tradition and new world ingenuity.
Over years of shared tastings and cross-continental collaboration, the winemakers have refined a composition showcasing the quintessential Champagne grape trifecta — Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay — resulting in what Chief Winemaker Peter Gago describes as “friendly – a style that doesn’t confront, it embraces. Emotive, not cerebral.”
True to its heritage, the Penfolds Champagne Cuvée delivers a multisensory experience that begins with an aromatic overture. The nose unfolds like a spring garden at dawn — layers of seringa blossom and chamomile lifted by citrus breezes of yuzu and Mexican orange. On the palate, a vibrant burst of flavour recalls a freshly baked Tarte au Citron meringuée, with delicate notes of raspberry pastille, nougat, and vanilla bean swirling gently. Lively citrus, tingling acidity, and sherbet-like clarity create a pure, seamless tasting experience — elegant, ethereal, and effortlessly complete.
This is a Champagne that wears its complexity lightly — simultaneously vibrant and profound, destined to elevate both spontaneous celebrations and momentous occasions.
Now gracing Dubai’s most exclusive venues, this distinguished Champagne finds its stage at award-winning establishments including Folly, Duck & Waffle and Hutong, as well as luxury hotspots like The Lana and Tresind Studio. For connoisseurs seeking to acquire bottles, this exquisite blend can be found in select African & Eastern stores, the UAE’s premier licensed liquor retailer.
With this ambitious transcontinental creation, Penfolds reaffirms its position not merely as a producer of fine wines, but as a curator of liquid artistry for the global stage. The Penfolds Champagne Cuvée stands as testament to the house’s philosophy — where geographic boundaries dissolve in pursuit of oenological excellence, and every bubble carries the weight of legacy.
