Champagne Henriot back in Australia

The Henriot and Hasko families have partnered to form a new company, Bootleggers, to distribute Champagne Henriot.

Peter Hasko (former GM Coca-Cola Amatil) and son Ben (Former Sommelier at Rockpool on George, Sydney and Vue de Monde, Melbourne) were inspired by meetings with the Henriot family and tasting their unique, hand crafted Champagnes.

The pair wanted to collect together a range of equally special wines, made by equally passionate and talented winemakers, and with this in mind they created distribution company Bootleggers and signed Champagne Henriot as their first brand.

Hasko said, “The Bootleggers name is less about prohibition and more about a band of men and women who always went the extra mile to get the right drinks to the right people!”

Champagne Henriot export director Anne Deraisme said, “Previous vintages of Champagne Henriot have been in Australia before and we have had a great response to them. However, this is the first time our full range of wines will be available under one roof and we couldn’t be happier with our partnership with Bootleggers, and the quality of service and level of dedication to our wines that the Hasko family provides us.” 

Since Bootleggers was conceived, Peter and Ben have travelled to major and remote wine regions throughout the world to source the best wines and spirits that aren’t currently available in Australia.

Other brands now, or soon to be, available through Bootleggers are Kiralyudvar (Tokaji Hungry), Dal Forno Romano (Veneto Italy), Kante (Carso Italy), Aphros Wines (Vinho Verde Portugal), Barbara Fores (Terra Alta Spain), Raul Perez (Bierzo Spain).
