Production Details The producer PDF describes fruit from chalk-soil plots planted with vines over 40 years old. It internally reports fermentation at both 18°C and 17°C, so no single fermentation temperature is proposed. That magnum technical sheet gives 2008 bottling and 2017 disgorgement, whereas the current producer magnum page gives 2020 disgorgement; these are preserved as release-specific alternatives rather than a vintage-wide disgorgement date. Berry Bros. & Rudd separately describes low-temperature fermentation in cement and steel and nine years on lees.
Tasting Notes Producer PDF release: straw yellow, delicate effervescence, structured nose, finesse on the palate, and a fresh, persistent finish. Current producer-page release: golden yellow with an abundant, persistent fine mousse; mature grapefruit and brioche aromas developing toasted, sooty notes; mineral palate with freshness, tension and a long finish.
Food Pairing Shellfish at the beginning of a meal; fish, shellfish and dishes with sauce.
