Brief history of Terroir Selections

Terroir Selections was created in 2006 by Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser with the aim of importing a personal selection of great French fine wines to Australia for sale in both top restaurants and wine retailers Australia wide. All our producers are vignerons families and who own (some for more than a century) and manage the vineyards which produce the fruit for their wines. They all have an acute vision of how their prized and praised terroir should be managed and do not compromise on the quality of their wines.

In 2008, Terroir Selections started distributing the first wine from Terre à Terre, a unique barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc (“Fumé Blanc” style) from Xavier and Lucy's close-spaced vineyard in Wrattonbully, South Australia.

Stunning sweet Chenin

A fantastic review from Andrew Graham at http://www.ozwinereview.com/ of the newly arrived 2010 Pierre Bise Coteaux du Layon.

What a magical wine this is. A magical wine that showcases just how perfect sweet Loire Chenin can be. Claude Papin, proprietor of Chateau Pierre-Bis, has been called a 'doyen of Anjou viticulture' and this style is really all about the magical fruit at the core.
