Only made in exceptional years, this 2018 Blanc de Noirs is complex and refined with delicate bubbles, a silky texture, and a long, exquisite finish.
A perfect growing season in every way. Favourable conditions at flowering and fruit set followed by an incredible summer filled with long, sunny, dry days encouraged a bountiful crop of high-quality fruit with exceptional balance and flavour. Picking started in early September with large yields of wonderfully ripe bunches sent to press. Undoubtedly, one of the finest vintages in England to date.
Carefully selected bunches were harvested by hand and gently whole bunch pressed. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous lees-ageing in bottle for a minimum of four years imparts a wonderful richness and complexity on this wine.
Tasting Note: A rich, yet beautifully balanced wine with delicate bubbles, a silky texture, and a long, lingering finish. Delightful notes of citrus fruits and baked apples are layered with generous notes of toasted brioche, honey and sweet spice.
