CLASSIC CUVEE

The pale-golden hue and fine bubbles make our flagship Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage the ideal occasion-ready drink – whether it’s toasting a big birthday or simply finishing a busy week. Following extensive ageing in our cellar (usually more than three years), our Classic Cuvee Multi-Vintage has distinctive toasty and spicy aromas. A palate of honey, almond, pastry and baked apples gives it a hint of decadence. Intense yet delicate, elegant yet complex – it’s no wonder it’s consistently crowned one of the best English sparkling wines.

Through a pale golden hue, this wine whirls into a spiralling set of bubbles. Baked lemon, bread dough, and strong minerality contribute to its inviting aroma.

This wine is a brilliant light gold with a fine-beaded mousse. The nose evokes mandarin and vanilla and hints of lemon zest, shortbread and light apricot. A very fruit-driven cuvee, with yeasty and biscuity notes playing the supporting role. Fresh yet complex.

A bright medium gold wine flickering with delicate bubbles. Musk, toffee, marmalade and earthy aromas fill the nose.  Enticing the palate are strong toffee and smoky flavours. With a baked citrus flavour finish, this is a full and mature wine yet one with vibrant acidity.
