96 / 100"A stunning rendition, the immensely complex bouquet shows golden apple, apricot, lemon pith and rich yeasty aromas, followed by a concentrated palate delivering refined texture and firm acidity. Superbly styled and engaging with a sustained symphonic finish. At its best: now to 2030."

Tasting Notes
All our Sparkling wine are made in the traditional French method with secondary fermentation taking place in bottle under control temperatures to give the wines a slow secondary fermentation and development a beautiful smooth mouse of foam.
The 2017 Blanc de Blanc spent 58 months on fermentation lees after tirage and was disgorged in July 2023. This extended time on lees gives the wine a lovely brioche character and good palate richness.
