(at M&S Spring Tasting, 09 May 2018)
This stalwart fizz always offers reliable drinking, and this new-release NV is from 2015 base wine. The grapes (42% Chardonnay, 13 % Pinot Blanc, 4% Pinot Noir and 4% Pinot Meunier) are sourced from vineyards in Kent, Essex, Sussex and Dorset, and the wine is aged on its lees in bottle for up to 24 months before disgorgement (in January 2018). It features nutty aromas and a layered palate of fresh apple and citrus fruit.
