2016 Gusbourne Estate, 51 Degrees North, Brut, England

Description

The 2016 is only the second-ever vintage of this cuvée produced, and it is, perhaps, even better than the 2014. Blind, you might mistake this for a Grand Cuvée champagne. The nose is delicate and expressive, bursting with white blossom and green apple. Yet the weight of the vintage is evident. The palate is rich, full-bodied and bristling with complexity. Sixty-seven months on the lees has given the wine copious amounts of brioche, toast and a buttery richness that is beautifully balanced by racy acidity. However, this wine still has a long way to go. The intense concentration suggests continued evolution under cork, adding even more layers of flavour; I’d expect up to 10 years at least!
