Description
Château Bichon Cassignols is owned and operated by Marie & Jean-François Lespinasse. With a profound dedication to nurturing a thriving ecosystem in their vineyards, the Lespinasses are committed to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Bichon Cassignols. For Jean-François, vinification is not merely a process, but a deeply rooted connection to the land, where tradition and innovation intersect. Utilizing native yeasts and eschewing chemical interventions, their winemaking ethos revolves around respect for nature and the integrity of the grapes.
A testament to this commitment is evident in "Le Petite Bichon," which is vinified and bottled without the addition of sulphur. By forgoing sulphur additives, Jean-François captures the essence and purity of the grapes, resulting in a wine that is vibrant, expressive, and true to its terroir.
Without having sulphur in the Barriques to stabilise the wine "Le Petite Bichon" is bottled before April, to preserve the wine's integrity. This is outside the Graves appellation rules so the wine is classed as a Bordeaux superior. Elevate your wine experience with the authenticity and craftsmanship of Château Bichon Cassignols, where every sip tells a story of passion, tradition, and respect for nature.

I love its cripsness plus i dont get ab anti histamine reaction..been the High & Dry Tamberlaine Curvee for 5 years. Thank you for stocking it as its hard to ger in liqour shops. Dymphna
These glasses bring a lightweight, sophisticated touch to any dining experience. We received them as a gift and have been absolutely delighted—so much so that we wouldn’t choose anything else now. They’ve truly elevated our table setting.
We absolutely love this wine! After one run through the decanter, it becomes a beautifully smooth red. We also purchased the decanter from The Wine Traveller and couldn’t be happier. Quick dispatch and delivery. The organic reds taste incredibly fresh and clean—no chemical aftertaste at all and no hangover. We're hooked. Thanks, Greg!
Item arrived safely packaged and as described. Tambourlaine Organic Wine - Merlot is my favourite wine and it is hard to purchase in Perth. Ordering online is the only option I have and it came quickly and was delivered to my door.
The wine speaks for itself - absolutely sensational!
The real star of the show is the service: exceptional, personal and with a smile.
A heartfelt thank you for the two personal deliveries so far and for patiently helping an old girl with IT support - truly above and beyond
I was at first hesitant about a sparkling wine in a screw cap bottle but was very pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the wine and the cap. The screw cap does a better job of keeping the bubbles fresh than any champagne stopper I have ever used.
This wine is our favourite drop for those everyday bubbles where you don't want to open an expensive French champagne like Verve or Taittinger (she who must be obeyed favourites).
It’s good enough to drink as a non alcoholic alternative to champagne and the little bottles are perfect - big enough to share or to drink the whole lot yourself!
I’ve had to give up my French champagne for health reasons and so I’ve tested many sparkling ‘wines’. I first sampled this at the famous Lakehouse Daylesford and have never looked back. It looks like champagne and is the closest thing you’ll get without the alcohol and the French touch. Give it a go!
It made me sad when my doctor said to give up alcohol. I love my bubbles. At a lunch at the Lakehouse I saw this non- alcoholic sparkling and gave it a go. Game changer. Looked the same and was very well received by my palate! The best part no adverse reactions and no hangover. So…..I had to buy some for those special celebrations when I didn’t want to feel left out. A little on the expensive side but worth it.
We are normally Shiraz drinkers, but I would describe this Grenache as a warmer-climate Pinot Noir with more body, making it incredibly approachable, food-friendly, and a fantastic alternative to heavier reds.
It is a highly aromatic, medium-bodied red wine with flavours reminiscent of red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Very nice indeed.
We were amazed how quickly you managed to package our order and get it Aus Post. Unfortunately, Aus Post are a business that do not care about quality and it took 2 weeks to get it to us. This is not out of the ordinary and I feel Aus Post are hurting businesses and this might impact on whether we decide to purchase from you guys again. However, you guys were great!
I tasted this wine at Marmelo restaurant in Melbourne. I loved it. I have been systematically tasting zero alcohol sparkling wines for some months and this was the best one I had ever tasted. I ordered 6 bottles, and everyone I share it with is VERY impressed.
