Gusbourne Blanc de Noirs 2019
Description
Light golden in colour with a delicate mousse and a vibrant nose showing orchard fruits, stone fruits and orange zest, with fl oral notes of fresh violet. On the palate the wine feels generous and rounded with red cherry, ripe strawberry and red apple, alongside a darker, slatey mineral character, notes of freshly baked pastry and sweet spice, leading to a complex, long finish.

Vineyard
Gusbourne Estate vineyards are planted on clay and sandy soils in Kent where the temperatures are amongst the highest in England and rainfall the lowest, providing ripeness, length and power. We also have vineyards planted on the chalky-flint soils of the South Downs in West Sussex which bring freshness, energy and precision to our wines.
