Tasting Note

This first release of the Hambledon Classic Cuvée Blanc de Blancs uses the superb 2018 vintage as its base. It has been maturing in cool cellars on its lees for more than four years, growing in complexity and balance all the while. Once in the glass, there is an immediate sensation of freshness, and the quality of the Chardonnay fruit shines through, with lovely notes of creamy apple and quince, and enhanced by the delicious scents and textures of brioche and subtle vanilla which have been created by the extended time spent ageing in bottle before release.
