The 2018 vintage of Black Chalk's 'classic' cuvee opens with a bready nose of lemon, blossom and candied pear. Crisp but honeyed with peach and apricot plus some red fruit notes. 18 months of ageing on lees bring more weight and texture to the palate, with depth of yeasty brioche and zesty citrus peel on the long finish. Classy and charming.
