Albourne Estate Blanc de Blancs 2018

This “white of whites” is made from handpicked Chardonnay fruit with a portion of the juice undergoing primary fermentation in French oak barrels. After second fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for three years in bottle. The nose reveals baked apple, citrus, almond & freshly baked pastry notes. Release zero-dosage, this displays all the classic Blanc de Blancs characters on the palate; there's a refreshing acidity working alongside delicate citrus and orchard fruits notes complimented by layers of baked apple, brioche and buttery cream on the finish. Perfect as an aperitif or paired alongside smoked salmon or canapés. This is rather tasty and offers superb value for money if we do say so ourselves!
