A Méthode Traditionelle from the pioneering LeBrun family in Marlborough. A blend of 54% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 1% Pinot Meunier, in a Brut style – aged on lees for three years.
A delicate pale golden colour in the glass. A very fine bead of bubbles. A complex, elegant bouquet shows hazelnut, white peach, fresh baguette, apple, citrus and strawberry flavours. A bright and lively acidity on the entry to the fresh, dry palate. Good weight through to the creamy texture at the back of the palate, with some savoury notes of marmite and bay leaf along the journey. Fine drinking at the price. 94pts
