“Fabulously elegant and refined with the seductive toasted brioche and honey notes of age”

Judges of 2017 UK Wine Awards

“In their first vintage – it seems hard to believe that 2009 was C&S’s first vintage, now they have become such an established player on the English wine stage, but it was – they also set aside some of the better wine with the intention of ageing it to make vintage wines and these are the results. The white blanc de blancs is the triumph of this new pair – intensely toasty with a lemon and green apple sharpness quickening through it.”
