Ridgeview's Blanc de Blancs

Blend

Chardonnay

Tasting Note

A delicate pale gold with silvery highlights. Persistent bubbles giving an exceptional mousse. The bouquet is subtle with a suggestion of honey and brioche which will become more noticeable with aging. The palate has a firm attack which makes this wine truly refreshing, with citrus and white tropical fruits in abundance. A beautifully balanced finish that lingers

Ageing

Drink now or age for three to four years.

Serving Suggestions

To be enjoyed and savoured on its own. Also a great match for light canapés and shellfish.

Quotes

“Lemony, floral nose which is elegant, discreet, biscuit and youthful. Refined and refreshing on the palate, with lemon rind, vivacious acidity, minerality, precision of flavour and plenty of elan. Stunning."
Steven Spurrier, Decanter 2010

“Cream, brioche, apple crumble, lemon sherbet, a little flint character. Pin-cushion mousse, really soft and refined with good core concentration and very lengthy finish. Light grassy herbaceous tones add a little complexity, and this has good potential for some years in bottle.”
Jancis Robinson, 2009

“The pick of the bunch, a 100% Chardonnay that shows classic aromas of fresh-baked bread, citrus and white flowers. The acidity is incisive, but pleasantly balanced by the depth of the fruit and the dosage. The finish ends on a long note of pithy white grapefruit."
Natasha Hughes, Harpers Wine & Spirit, May 2009

Wow!  One of the stand-out wines at the recent English Wine Producers Trade & Press Tasting.  So much zing, so much complexity, I'm thrilled this is grown and made in Sussex.  It's stellar fizz with brisk citrus flavours and world-class complexity."
