Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs 2017 England
12% alcohol. Thanks to the code on the label you can find out a lot of information on this wine from Nyetimber’s website: Bottling date 21.03.2018, Riddling date 19.09.2024, Disgorging date 26.11.2024. Dosage 10 g/litre. This is really lovely after 80 months on the lees, and it carries the quite high dosage really well. This shows subtle toasty notes on a framework of crystalline citrus fruit with some richer notes of white peach and even some apricot. It finishes lively with good acidity, with no harshness. This has real depth and sophistication, with the bright drive of Chardonnay grown in a cool climate, but also some richness and complexity from lees ageing, but also starting with physiologically ripe grapes. 94/100
