Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027
Marlborough’s No1 Family Estate draws upon founder Daniel LeBrun’s decades (and his Champenois family’s centuries) of experience, specialising in sparkling wine. Made from 86% Pinot Noir and 14% Chardonnay with around two years on lees, this is a sophisticated fizz with red cherry, wild strawberry, acacia flower and brioche notes. Rich and textural with a long savoury finish, it’s lovely on its own and has enough substance to match well with food – try with fresh salmon.
