Pale lemon colour. Elegant lemony nose, with complex nutty yeasty notes from extended bottle age. Sleek & very elegant palate, with toasty yeast character, shows high quality fruit & a long mineral finish. Serve at anytime, this is a very serious challenger to Champagne. 65% Chardonnay, 18% Pinot Noir & 17% Pinot Meunier from Kent, Sussex & Hampshire vineyards. Seriously complex, amazingly sleek & very smart sparkling wine. Pale lemon colour. Promising, elegant nose with some pretty gunpowder complexity. Toasty complexity with yeast complexed fruit of the highest & cleanest order.
