Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs

Smiling faces, twinkling lights and sparkle in the glass. All the right elements of the holiday season.

100% Chardonnay made in the traditional method. Predominantly fermented in stainless-steel tanks with a small amount in old oak barrels to add complexity and aged for a minimum of 42 months on the lees.

Pale gold gleaming in the glass with fine persistent bubbles. Delicate aromas of orange zest, ripe green apple and pear, lemon meringue pie, white blossom, wet stone, pastry cream, raw almonds and shortbread. What hits you first is the linear acidity that keeps humming along from beginning to end. The texture has a crunchy minerality which supports the nectarine, bright lemon juice, toasted hazelnuts, brioche and lingering ginger anise fizz finish. Just wonderfully elegant and purity of an English signature style Blanc de Blancs. Happy Holidays 🥂
