Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2015, Kent, England
£70.00 – £378.00
Gusbourne estate is located just six miles off the cost in Appledore, Kent. The 200 hectare estate possesses plantings of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir. In 2013 they were awarded the IWSC English producer of the year, and their wines have gone from strength to strength. This Blanc de Blancs is a true expression of their terroir and the purest form of the Chardonnay grape.
Tasting notes
Pale gold with a gentle yet persistent mousse, the Blanc de Blancs blends classic Chardonnay notes of zesty citrus fruit, green apple, preserved lemon and ripe pear on the nose. The wine is precise and direct, with mouthwatering mineral notes and elegance. White stone fruits appear on the palate alongside a vibrant acidity with soft, creamy texture. Hints of toasted hazelnuts and buttered toast complexity, from extended lees ageing, complete the finish.
