BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Very positive scents and flavors of agrumes fruit, edged, with lovely acidity and a deep sense of minerals. 17

Andrew Jefford: Full gold; steady mousse. Lots of sweet pear here, on the nose. The palate is bright, sherbetty, tangy, relatively simple; the dosage in the wine then gives it a gentle confectionary finish. I get the sense that the raw materials have been stretched here. It’s “well made” by folk who know what they are doing, but this isn’t a great blanc de blancs of purity and breeding. 13.5

Tom Stevenson: Chock-a-block full of autolysis at the time of tasting, with minuscule bubbles, this blanc de blancs is delicious now but will obviously retain its elegance as it ages. 18.5
