Why we follow Bass Phillip

The estate

Founded in 1979 by Phillip Jones at Leongatha South in South Gippsland, and long regarded as one of Australia's benchmark small Pinot Noir producers. Jones sold the business in 2020 to a syndicate led by the Burgundian winemaker Jean-Marie Fourrier of Domaine Fourrier; the 2021 vintage was the first fully under the new team. Fourrier leads the winemaking and winegrowing team, with Adam Francis based on site as general manager, running day-to-day vineyard and winery work.

How allocations are offered

Registering is not a commitment

It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.

Quantities are genuinely limited

Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.

Lamont’s allocates personally

Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.

Change what you follow at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
