Blanc de Blancs
The grapes were hand-harvested into bins in the cool of the morning.
They were then whole-bunch pressed into part stainless steel and French oak barrels (25%). Selected yeast was used for primary fermentation with no malolactic fermentation allowed.
Using only wine from free-run juice the final blend was bottled where it then underwent, according to the traditional method second fermentation in the bottle.
This is followed by bottle maturation of approximately 36 months, and only then was it disgorged, corked and labelled.

Awards & Reviews:
“This is really rich with bold, spice-laden citrus fruit, showing some notes of toast and
aniseed, as well as a slight saltiness. It’s a rich, impactful Blanc de Blancs with peach
and pear as well as lively citrus, finishing with some pithiness and structure.
Impressive in this richer style, with the potential for some further development in
bottle."91/100 - JAMIE GOODE,THE WINE ANORAK, 31.07.24
“For a splash-out treat, the Blanc de Blancs 2020 delivers sublimely complex scents of
French bread, croissant and blossom and, when you sip it, lemony power with a
turbine of intense verve, a salty streak giving focus, energy and grace.”
OLLY SMITH, HOT BOTTLE NEWS, 12.07.24
“A wonderfully crisp and pure expression of Chardonnay with plenty of fresh citrus
and a slight nuttiness coming through.”REBECCA PITCAIRN, ENGLISH WINE DIARIES, 12.06.24
“Elegance and finesse with a very long finish. A superb
maiden offering from what was a stellar vintage” GEOFFREY DEAN, THE BUYER, 07.06.24
“Citrus, lime zest, with shortcrust pastry. One for ageing, it
has longevity, one for food.”BRAD HORNE, WINETIME LONDON. 31.05.24
