Note di degustazione
100% Chardonnay from West Sussex and Hampshire. Bottled 23 March 2017 and disgorged 24 May 2023. TA 7.4 g/l, pH 3.2, RS 9.6 g/l. Big bubbles on first pouring. Sweet-smelling citrus with a touch of white blossom as well as toasty autolytic notes and an inviting fruit ripeness. Deliciously toasty on the palate as well as intensely fresh, a good balance of fruit depth, lees-aged creamy-rich and rounded texture as well as mouth-watering acidity. Mousse is much finer in the mouth than it appeared in the glass. Long, with masses of acidity and tension and really refined. The aftertaste seems a little sweet-sour, which brought my note down from 17 to 16.5. (JH)

The 2016 Brut Blanc de Blancs spent just under seven years on lees. Lactic intensity dominates the nose for a few moments before wet pebble and tangy lemon peel appear, accompanied by briny seashell notions. The palate is creamy with fine bubbles and a lovely shortcrust saltiness. This is compact but rich, linear yet sinuous and beautifully concentrated. It deserves a place at the table and will continue to evolve. The finish is all sea, lemon and saltiness. (Lot: L16BB0742D01)
