The 2013 Blanc de Blancs has a crisp, quite austere but quintessentially Blanc de Blancs style bouquet that is full of energy. The palate if fresh, quick out of the blocks with Granny Smith apples and fresh lime. This feels brisk and lively, an English sparkler with commendable weight and very good persistence. You can feeling this Blanc de Blancs tingling long after its slate-like finish. RP
