(2022) A traditional method wine made from Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, part of the Chardonnay vinified in older oak barrels. It has bountiful, creamy character, the nose showing a little biscuit and plenty of zesty fruit, then the palate generously filled with orangy citrus and peach, a rolling mousse, but crucially, fine balancing acidity that maintains freshness in an open and attractive Champagne alternative. Please note that the 2016 vintage is sold out, and the 2017 will be ready to dispatch from early April 2022.
