The Story

A lovely pale straw-yellow colour. The essence of purity, with a rich nose of bergamots, Philadelphus and Granny Smith apples followed by racy citrus fruits and focused minerality on the palate.

Written Notes

The 1992 Blanc de Blancs was bottled in spring 1993 and this particular bottle was disgorged in February 2020. It has a pale straw hue, slightly lighter than the 1996 by comparison. The nose is impressive considering its age, delivering damp straw, hints of honeysuckle and a touch of roasted pumpkin and fennel seeds. The palate is fully mature with fine acidity, quite citric and almost Chenin Blanc in style. A little waxy in texture, it feels slightly bitter toward the finish. Toasted sesame and Japanese mirin linger on the aftertaste. A historically important English sparkling wine, for sure, though my preference is for the 1996 when compared side by side. (February 2020 disgorgement)
