(2023) A wine I have not tasted since the 2007 vintage, and what a treat it is. Arras describe vintage 2013 as having "an exceptional balance of sugar, acidity and flavour." Released after seven years on the lees, this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir has a pale gold colour and arresting nose of hazelnut, brioche light honey and fat lemony fruit. In the mouth the creaminess of texture, almost chocolaty mouthfeel has ripe and expansive fruit, but it is licked into shape by a core of shimmering acidity, just a touch of saline character, but really juicy citrus too.

(2021) Ace sparkling winemaker Ed Carr has fashioned this from the three main Champagne grapes, with barrel fermentation of the base wines adding an extra layer of creamy depth. It is super impressive, vanilla, light buttery and toasty aromas and a fat lemony fruit base. On the palate a nice persistent mousse, plenty of bold flavour, and a pure, exhilarating blast of saline and citrus acidity that slices through some ripe, opulent mid-palate fruit.

(2017) The blend contains 77% Chardonnay, which is higher than usual. Lovely struck match complex sulphides on the nose, a little toffee, and the orchard fruits have delicious juiciness and length, fine, long, tapering acids in a lovely wine. The sweet fruit so nicely balanced against the creamy acidity. Note that online retailer Justincases is offering a six pack of this for £139.50 inc VAT at time of writing: £23.95 per bottle.

(2017) Brighter, but also more leesy than the Bream Creek, a combination of some nettle and herbs, nougat and bright apple fruit. The palate has a lovely softly foaming mousse, with again a sweeter finish, but delightful balance and length.
