NV Blanc de Blancs, Langham Wine Estate, Dorset

Chardonnay

Following many ultra-successful vintage releases, the Langham Blanc de Blancs has switched to a non vintage blend following the 2018 vintage.  Made with 100% Chardonnay, 90% of which is from the 2020 vintage, and aged on the lees for two years, this is an energetic and wonderfully focussed Blanc de Blancs. The nose displays a tense balance between ripe green apple and conference pear with notes of white flowers and intense graphite minerality. The palate is delicate yet weighty in texture, with soft ripe pear, honeydew melon and white grapefruit acidity, finishing with a trademark saline nuttiness.

NV Gosset Grande Reserve, Ay, Half Bottle

Champagne Blend

This cuvée has a bright and golden colour. The nose is dominated by the freshness and the fruit. The Chardonnay brings finesse sustained by notes of yellow fruits such as peach and Mirabelle plum. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous. The Pinot Noir of Ay gives its structure. Hawthorn and white flowers merge naturally. Acidity is expressed by citrus fruits.

2014 Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Champagne Germar Breton

Chardonnay

Germar Breton are a relatively young Champagne House that started in 2005.  Based in the southerly Aube region, they make approachable, terrific value wines solely from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, eschewing the use of Pinot Meunier as they believe that it brings a harshness ot the final wine.

2015 Cava Gran Reserva Brut Real, Heretat Mastinell

White Blend

With a staggering 8 years on lees, this terrific Cava Gran reserva has to be one of the best value sparkling wines that we've come across recently.  The wine shows a lovely golden colour in the glass with delicate bubbles.  The floral nose has hints of pear, apple and star anise and leads to a wonderfully balanced and elegant palate.
