Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs Gift Box 2017

A wine of unmistakable elegance and depth. Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay, crafted from a single vintage and given extended time (over 4 years!) on lees, this pure expression of Chardonnay was the first style ever produced at Nyetimber and marked the start of their pioneering journey in the early 1990s.

The story of Nyetimber is one of decades of craftsmanship, passion, and a pioneering spirit. Their uncompromising attention to detail and singular desire to produce wines worthy of the most joyous of celebrations, drives them to create the very finest expressions of the Estate. Head Winemaker Cherie Spriggs assesses every handpicked parcel of grapes for quality, ripeness and character. Nyetimber wines have achieved global acclaim, winning international awards and blind-tasting competitions, as well as being recognised by some of the world’s most celebrated wine experts.

Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs 2017 is pale gold in colour with tiny, delicate bubbles. It shows their classic signature of delicate floral and citrus aromas followed by clotted cream and shortcrust pastry. On the palate, gooseberry and citrus flavours follow through alongside apple crumble, all accompanied by an underlying flinty, mineral character. It is very fine and elegant, with a long and complex finish making this a wine to be savoured.

With over four years spent ageing on lees, Nyetimber’s Blanc de Blancs balances richness with unmistakable elegance. It is perfectly paired with White crab, Dover sole and mussels.
