A Méthode NV wine from Marlborough – a tribute to the Le Brun family’s Mother. The classic champagne blend of Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (43%) and Pinot Meunier (7%). The light golden colour in the glass follows into the perfume, where peach, apricot and citrus mingles with toasted breadcrumb, apple danish and honeysuckle notes. A fizz of fine mousse gives a wonderfully textured entry to a broad palate. An electric acidity lights up flavours of lemon curd, almond and peach melba. There is more texture as a creaminess balances the drive of acidity, adding generosity and elegance into a drawn-out finish of good persistence. 95pts
