Court Garden Blanc de Noirs 2020
Beautifully balanced acidity and dosage, green fruits and pastry
Court Garden’s Blanc de Noirs has a fine fizz to it. On the nose, there are toast and brioche aromas with green fruit and lemongrass accents. It has a nicely defined mid-palate with ripe green fruit flavours and a hint of redcurrant. 2020 opened with a notably wet winter and settled into a remarkably sunny spring. Summer produced near perfect conditions, resulting in an excellent harvest.
Court Garden is a family-run, single-estate vineyard and winery in East Sussex, set on a beautiful south-facing slope with the South Downs as a backdrop. The vineyard shares similar geology to North-East France – the chalk of the Downs runs beneath the Channel into the Champagne region. In Sussex, there is a more maritime climate which is perfect for the production of sparkling wine.
