Blanc de Blancs 2016

Nose

Citrus oil, hazelnut praline, white flowers and a touch of struck flint.

Palate

Concentrated and tightly knit; orchard fruit and lemon zest sit over a deep chalk seam.

Finish

Mineral, sustained, with a slow unfurling complexity.

West Sussex sits on a sweep of greensand and chalk geologically continuous with the Champagne region across the Channel. The cool maritime climate gives a long, slow growing season — the foundation of every Nyetimber wine.

Selected parcels of Chardonnay from the 2016 harvest, fermented cool and aged on lees for over five years before disgorgement.
