NO1 Family Estate Reserve Blanc de Blancs NV, Marlborough

100% Chardonnay.

Pure, focused and captivating scents of white peach, apple blossom and an integrated autolysis; as the wine relaxes in glass aromas of lemon peel and white strawberry begin to emerge. Overall the bouquet is complex, youthful, very sophisticated and playfully plush. On the palate - equally complex yet youthful too with a crisp and refreshing acidity along with a fine beaded mousse control the flow and flavour. The autolysis is seamless and even throughout lasting through to the final taste. The mid-palate holds a floral almost sweet intensity reminding me that this wine remains sophisticated, youthful and desirable. Best drinking upon release and through 2030+. Store well and enjoy at 10 degrees celsius. A trumpet or Jancis ‘One’ glass recommended.

96 Points

This is a pre-release tasting assessment. May I suggest an allocation pre-order is advised.
