2018 Wendling Blanc de Blancs, Ambriel, West Sussex (Disgorged Jan 2025)
New release
Expect crisp citrus, green apple and a touch of stone fruit on the nose. Pithy, racy lemon and lightly honeyed notes on the palate, all underpinned by a fine, chalky backbone and a beautifully persistent mousse. There’s a creamy, biscuity depth from the five and a half years on lees, but it’s the elegance and freshness that really stand out. The finish is long and deliciously saline.
