Description

Made predominantly from the standout 2019 vintage, a cooler and longer ripening year, this release offers a refined structure with layers of complexity. The pronounced Pinot Noir influence brings toasty richness, complemented by vibrant acidity and a long, textured finish. Aged for a minimum of 34 months on lees, this wine is both sophisticated and effortlessly drinkable. Enjoy now or allow it to develop further in bottle.

Brut Reserve No. 8, with its strong Pinot Noir foundation, is a true testament to the precision and craftsmanship of this award-winning producer.

Tasting Notes

Elegant and finely structured, this wine opens with toasty aromas, red apple, citrus zest, and hints of baked brioche. The palate is refined and balanced, featuring notes of fresh orchard fruits, lemon curd, and subtle spice, leading to a crisp, mineral-driven finish with lingering complexity.

Pairings

A fantastic choice for celebrations or luxurious food pairings, this sparkling wine pairs beautifully with oysters, smoked salmon, creamy cheeses like Tunworth, or light poultry dishes.
