A sophisticated Blanc de Blancs style crafted from the best Chardonnay components of the 2004 vintage. A remarkable 14 years on the lees during its second fermentation in bottle have built incredible complexity, yet the wine has retained a beautiful freshness.

TASTING NOTE
Yellow gold with a slight green hue. Crystal clear with a fine and persistent bead.
Lifted nuances of white flowers, exotic spice, fresh pastry and sea spray.
Enticingly complex with characters reminiscent of grapefruit, sourdough, field mushroom, marzipan and oyster shell. The palate is seamless and tightly wound with brilliant flavour persistence. The dosage balance point is exceptionally low supporting a dry and crisp style built around a firm natural acid line. This wine expresses fantastic elegance, poise and vibrancy which are the recognised hallmarks of this style.
