Digby Blanc De Blancs Brut 2013

Stuart McCloskey "The bouquet is wonderfully fresh – almost minty. Honeyed orchard fruits, confit lemon, white flowers, fresh bread, oyster shell along with saline unfurl in the glass (almond croissant with more aeration). This is a serious wine that would be the perfect partner for a gastronomic feast (this is not a quaffer). The palate is tightly structured, layered, tensile and could go for another decade or more. Such incisive penetration. Super-clean, chiselled, immensely long, intensely saline, lots of chalk – the mousse provides pillowy comfort. Remarkably youthful and vivacious - greater things will emerge, although this delivers plenty of pleasure. Skilfully crafted and a wine that shows soul… Beautiful. Served using Zalto Universal glassware. *avoid flutes."

Trevor Clough, Digby CEO & Head Blender “I vowed only to make a Blanc de Blancs if the Chardonnay had bags of personality, and boy did it in 2013! The grapes had range, depth, complexity, and plentiful punchiness to drive the wine through long ageing. With a focus on purity, the blend contains just four parcels, now singing together as a harmonious whole a decade later. Combining linearity from the largest parcel, phenolic intrigue from a single oak barrel’s worth of second-pressing juice, and a generous texture from our clay site, this is a wine to savour. An ebullient crown for our collection.”
