2013 Gusbourne Estate, Blanc de Blancs, Brut, Kent, England

Description

This delicious wine is still showing all the elegance and precision it had when I first recommended it to Decanter readers almost a year ago, but its steely, tight-knit structure has since developed and evolved into something altogether more yeasty, savoury and self-assured - all of which bodes well for the new Gusbourne prestige cuvée blend from 2013 that winemaker Charlie Holland is steadfastly holding onto until it's suitably aged and ready for release.

Drink 2018 - 2025

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 91/100
The 2013 Blanc de Blancs has a crisp, quite austere but quintessentially Blanc de Blancs style bouquet that is full of energy. The palate if fresh, quick out of the blocks with Granny Smith apples and fresh lime. This feels brisk and lively, an English sparkler with commendable weight and very good persistence. You can feeling this Blanc de Blancs tingling long after its slate-like finish. This is the best of three examples I tasted from Gusbourne and it comes highly recommended.Neil Martin - 30/06/2017

About this wine

Kent

Located south-east of London, Kent is home to a growing number of exciting English wine producers, notably Gusbourne Estate, Chapel Down and Hush Heath Estate. These estates specialise in English sparkling wine made using the so-called traditional method, best known for its use in making Champagne. Indeed, Champagne Taittinger chose Kent as the location for its own English vineyard, Domaine Evremond.
