The first new release is our vintage Classic Cuvée 2017. It’s a beautiful blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. With a vibrant nose of red apples and the deep rich flavours you’d expect from that long ripening period.
Rob Buckhaven, our brand ambassador, described the wine as having “a rich mousse of Mirabelle plums and orange sherbet with a bright, pomelo finish”. All I know is that it tastes delicious. It will be available exclusively in Harvey Nichols for the month of May, before going on sale at various independent wine merchants across the UK, as well as being poured in some fantastic restaurants, bars and hotels.
The second new release is our vintage Blanc de Blancs 2017 made from predominately Burgundy clones of Chardonnay which tend to have smaller berries carrying more flavour.
Jamie Goode, the wine writer, recently posted a tasting note on Instagram describing it as; “delicate and refined” with “acidity that integrates nicely into the wine .. taught, focused, precise”, it has a “beautiful purity of fruit .. real finesse, classy .. a really lovely wine.”
We think it’s a lovely wine that has slight tropical notes of papaya and creamy lemon balm. It is tasting really great at the moment but will age well in the bottle for the next five years. It’s available from Harrods online and in store from the 1st May, before it then goes on more general release during May.
Both wines are also available from our Cellar Door on the Estate and online from 1st May. We’d love to hear what you think of them.
