Checking in again with this fine Blanc de Noirs from Henry and Kaye Laithwaite in Marlowe, Bucks.
Bristly pink grapefruit and orange orange, red apple and some nice golden fruits rounded out with set honey and herbs. The intensity of flavour is quite high for English Sparkling here, although the wine hasn’t quite settled in bottle as I was thinking it might; still quite a grippy, punchy style! Actually feels slightly extracted, in some ways. I do like it though. I’ll leave the other bottles for a little longer. 17
