Blue Pyrenees Estate
Pyrenees , Victoria
Winery Overview
Blue Pyrenees — then called Chateau Remy — was established in Western Victoria during the early 1960s by the French company Remy Martin. Where it's known for the most famous and expensive Cognac, Louis XIII was committed to discovering the wine potential of the world’s cool climate wine regions. Subsequently, it became the force behind Champagne Houses Krug and Charles Heidsieck. Remy Martin came across Victoria’s Pyrenees region in the early 1960s and discovered its potential to inherit and sustain for generations to come.
Soils similar to those of Bordeaux; ample amounts of sunshine but its warmth moderated by altitude and southerly ocean winds all combined to convince Remy Martin to invest heavily in this region of Australia. Their judgement was indeed an excellent choice, with the winegrape growing conditions being warm enough to give concentration and power to the wines, yet cool enough to retain vibrancy and elegance, resulting in remarkable unique wines from the traditional French grape varieties. In 1963, Blue Pyrenees Estate became the second vineyard to re-establish in Victoria, after all, vineyards disappeared earlier in the 1900s.
From 1963 until today, Blue Pyrenees Estate is one of the largest wineries in Victoria with approx. 150 hectares of premium grape vineyard with average 40 years old and it is also the best Victoria winery for producing “Classic Methode Traditionnelle” sparkling wine.
