Description

Purity is key in this balanced wine with its citrus core and creamy texture. Mandarin, apricot and almond notes hover in the background and there's a crisp lemony finish to it all, Quite exciting.

Jamie Goode, Sunday Express (April 2023)

For over 25 years Nyetimber has had a single aim: to make the finest English sparkling wine, one to rival the very best in the world, including Champagne. A true pioneer, Nyetimber was the first producer of English sparkling wine to exclusively grow the three celebrated grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Each bottle of Nyetimber is made from 100% estate-grown grapes.

This sparkling wine has a fine mousse that enhances the toasty, almond and honey notes. The acidity is poised and provides the perfect foil to the baked apple and spice on the palate. Perfect served chilled as an apéritif, but also good with lighter starters, shellfish or poultry.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20

60% Chardonnay, 27% Pinot Noir, 13% Pinot Meunier. Fruit from West Sussex and Hampshire. Tiny bead. Tightly focused nose (probably 2018 base). Really interesting, layered nose. Absolutely no excess of acidity at all, so I would guess there is quite a bit of reserve wine in here. Really a standout in terms of balance. I'd love to taste this blind with a similarly priced champagne. Smoky, broad and mouth-filling.Drink 2022 - 2027jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (April 2022)

Neal Martin 90/100

The Classic Cuvée comes from estate-grown grapes, 30–40% Pinot Noir, 10–20% Pinot Meunier and 50–60% Chardonnay with around 30% reserve wine. This was disgorged in January 2019. It has an attractive bouquet of baked green apples and a subtle leesy note that becomes more prominent with aeration. The palate is pleasantly weighty on the entry, then quite malic, with Conference pears intermingling with Granny Smith apples. Hints of vanilla surface toward the pleasing, easygoing finish.

Doughy yeasty nose with a hint of salinity. The palate is soft and fruit-forward, with some spice and biscuit notes. Great balance and finish.Drink 2020 - 2024Susie Barrie MW, Decanter.com (January 2020)

William Kelley 91/100

Disgorged in January 2020, the new release of Nyetimber's NV Brut Classic Cuvée is based on the 2015 vintage, complemented by 20% reserve wines dating back to 2009. Offering up aromas of honeycomb, apple blossom, warm pastry, candied peel and nougat, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and pillowy, with a pretty core of fruit, bright acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse.Drink 2020 - 2033William Kelley, Wine Advocate (April 2021)
