Product Description
100% Chardonnay from West Sussex and Hampshire, with 3% vinified in new Burgundian oak barrels, this Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs spends around five years on lees before an additional 18 months under cork — a patient regime that builds real depth beneath its precision.
Susy Atkins at Decanter praises its "generosity and precision," with "keen but well integrated acidity underpinning ripe citrus, pear and apple fruit," while Jamie Goode notes "bready, toasty richness" and a "long, tapering finish" of lemony, nectarine complexity.
- Style: Precise, richly layered and age-worthy
