Classic Cuvée, Nyetimber

This Classic Cuvée quality rivals, and indeed, surpasses many sparklers from the most famous French regions. Its fine, persistent mouse, delicate balance of orchard fruit, zesty citrus and its toasty, biscuity quality are just to die for. A deep, post-tasting breath reveals notes of almond and pastry, not to mention the texture on the palate with a hint of creaminess.

REVIEWS:
"The NV Classic Cuvée is a blend of 50-60% Chardonnay, 30-40% Pinot Noir and 10-20% Pinot Meunier. This particular Cuvée is based on the 2013 vintage, augmented by contributions from 2010 and 2011, also 20% of the 2009 vintage. It spent three years on the lees. It has a generous bouquet with red apple, fresh pear and a touch of Mirabelle. I appreciate the vigor and intensity here. The palate displays fine delineation with hints of strawberry and cherry, nicely weighted in the mouth with a brisk and tensile finish. The Classic Cuvée has long given pleasure and it continues to do so."
90/100 Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 2017

"This is a class act. Fresh white breadcrumb and crisp, ripe red apple combine to create an appetizing nose. The lively fizz on the palate makes the tart but ripe red-apple notions stand out, painted against a mellow, yeasty backdrop and resonant, bready depth. This wine is crisp and rich in equal measure, bold and full flavored, yet elegant and smooth. Outstanding freshness, brightness and purity become apparent on the long finish."
