Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and restrained English Blanc de Blancs from the highly regarded Gusbourne Estate.
The lowdown:
Blanc de Blancs are made entirely from Chardonnay and Gusbourne's expression is one that typifies the elegance, finesse and crisp minerality that the best example display. The fruit comes from selected parcels at their vineyards in Appledore, Kent and Goodwood in West Sussex. While most of it is fermented in stainless steel a small proportion was fermented in old oak barrels to add an extra cpmplexity. It was then aged on its lees for a minimum of 42 months. It has a mousse which is supremely delicate with classic aromas of green apple, citrus, mineral notes with hints of buttered toast and tarte tatin. The understated, but subtly creamy body leads onto a long, cleanly citrus and mineral influenced finish.
When to drink:
With the complexity and elegance of a great Blanc de Blancs this is a great accompaniment to seafood in general and wonderful with shucked oysters in particular.
