BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Full yellow; sustained mousse. Creamy and soft, a slice of peach flesh, a whisper of hazels: that’s what you hope for in a glass of blanc de blancs. Lots of dosage here, which rather overwhelms the delicate fruit; some stone to finish. A pert, toothsome blanc de blancs, but not profound. 14.5

Tom Stevenson: Rich and toasty and will get toastier, but has the acidity and structure to take it. 18
