BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: fine, subtle gently evolving Welsh gold; inviting harmonious citrus-scale aromas, open, friendly but elegant, with something in reserve, with admirable tension; palate complete confirmation of nose, lovely balance of now candied lemon fruit, velvet texture and long, quite defined finish. More than excellent. 18

Andrew Jefford: Steady mousse in this pale gold wine. Fresh, light, and powdery as far as it goes; not hugely aromatic. Vinous, full, correct but the fruit is slightly raw and ungenerous. Nonetheless, it’s a pleasant glass of blanc de blancs and the gratifying mineral-salt notes qualify the finish. 13.5

Tom Stevenson: A lovely balance of freshness and mature fruit, with textbook creaminess more a texture than an aroma. Classically very dry in true extrabrut style. Slightly oxidative within perfectly acceptable bounds. 16.5
