“The 2018 vintage is the estate’s first Blanc de Noirs, made with 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier sourced from a soil of clay and Kentish ragstone. Freshly sliced bread opens up to banana peel, ripe yellow pears and scented blackcurrant. Linear and crisp on the palate, with yeasty green apple, citrus fruit and an undertone of honeyed tangerine peel and brioche. The wine hasn’t been through malolactic fermentation, preserving its vibrant acidity at 8.3g/l, which is balanced by dosage at 12 g/l.”
