Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs 2020
Vibrant citrus and green apple character, with riper notes of nectarine and clementine, toasted nuts and brioche
Pale gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose brims with bright citrus notes of ripe lemon and orange peel, along with green apple and Williams pear. On the palate, the wine is focused and elegant, driven by more citrus and orchard fruits, with stone fruits notes of white peach. The fruit sits alongside a richer, pâtisserie character of toasted nuts, brioche and lemon meringue pie. The mouthfeel is linear and fresh, leading to a zesty mineral note on the long finish.
Gusbourne has 60 hectares at Gusbourne Estate in Kent and 30 hectares in West Sussex that are planted with the 3 classic varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The distinct terroir and exceptionally mild microclimates of the surroundings add their own depth and complexity to the wines, and Gusbourne aims to allow the combination of site, soil and hard work in the vines to reflect in every bottle.
