Tasting note
Attractive golden copper hue. Delightful bouquet of ripe stone and citrus fruits lifted by floral notes. Baked apples on the palate are layered with notes of toasted almonds, characteristic of a generous bottle-ageing. A rich, yet beautifully balanced wine with delicate bubbles, a silky texture and a long-lingering finish.
Viticulture
The Roebuck Estates Blanc de Noirs 2015 is crafted from the finest handpicked Pinot Noir grapes grown at our Roman Villa vineyard in West Sussex.
Vinification
Carefully selected bunches were gently whole bunch pressed and partially fermented in old Burgundian barrels followed by a generous period of lees ageing in bottle for a minimum of three years. Approximately 58% of the juice went through malolactic fermentation.
Food Match
Perfect with lobster, oyster or, aged Comté. Also, delicious as an apéritif.
