The Blanc de Blancs is a new addition to Hambledon Vineyard's portfolio. Based on the highly regarded 2018 vintage and sourced from the south-facing Windmill Down vineyards on belemnite chalk, the NV release was aged on lees for four years. Sourdough, citrus, and yellow apple on the nose. Brioche and a linear palate of lemon sorbet and citrus zest. White spices add flares to the savoury notes. Bright, with nutty, autolytic depth on the finish.
