Plymouth gin and Grey gosse vodka. Lillet. Vesper — 3 months ago
Frothy mousse, pale gold. Dry with 8g/litre. Young and still quite primary with a slightly sharp citrusy palate with heightened minerality. Very pleasant, will be interested to follow the evolution. FYI crazy tight cork that needed cork screw to release. — 3 years ago
The most Champagne non-Champagne . Much preferred over California or Italian sparkling. — 3 days ago
Classic stuff, probably been brewing this same recipe for centuries. Smells & tastes like it would be heavy, but it goes down easy and is surprisingly light on its feet. Lightly malty, no frills old school Ale — 3 months ago
Champagne method and blend - 49% Chardonnay, 31% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier. Lifted aromas of almond cake, biscotti, and sea shell. More non fruit than fruit with a almond kringle feel the palate. Lemon zest to finish. Soft and round with loads of acid. Well done. — 2 years ago
I was on set for several rather emotionally and physically grueling action packed shooting so I deserved a little treat and by little treat mean a bottle of bubbles (and a session of smushing my face into my cat). This British bubbly is rich (riper than I’d imagine from that extra-cool climate) but also refreshing and zingy—beyond all the oxidative appley nutty notes is a punch of sweet citrus that is quite beguiling. A touch of quality white bread on the nose too. It keeps giving. — a month ago

The nose displays a nice mix of peach, lime, strawberry, sourdough, and light chalk. Delicate fine mousses. High acidity but with a round edge. Shows a lot more Chard characters once the mousses are settled. Clean crisp finish.
This one was recommended over other more expensive vintage English bottling. Very happy with the choice.
