£521.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

90% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier and lees-aged for 5 years, this is our first ever Blanc de Noirs. We enjoyed an abundance of exceptional Pinot fruit in 2014 and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has given this wine its highest score yet for an English sparkling wine.

Whitehall Pinot Noir 2021 (6 Bottles) Chippenham, Wiltshire, England

£105.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Crafted from an outstanding harvest, the 2021 is a delicate Pinot Noir, aged in French Oak, with the perfect balance of acidity and light tannins.

Hailed as a season of near-perfect conditions, summer 2021 produced some remarkable wines. Our 2021 Pinot Noir is a benchmark of this exceptional harvest.

Harvested from our vineyard in Wiltshire, this wine pairs perfectly with duck and lamb, or simply enjoy on its own. We recommend to serve this wine on the colder side of room temperature. Some English red wines offer a better taste when served chilled and this wine is no exception to that. However, if you prefer your wine wines on the warmer side this wine can do either.

Gusbourne Late Disgorged Blanc de Blancs 2013 (6 Bottles) Appledore, Kent, England

£630.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

The extended lees ageing of this wine brings with it a complexity and creamy mouthfeel, showing toasted brazil nut, freshly baked croissant and pastry along with bright citrus fruits, lemon sherbet, stone fruits and a striking mineral note.

Every year, we release a small number of late-disgorged wines. These are particularly luxurious and fine thanks to a special winemaking technique.

If you’re already familiar with Dom Perignon’s Plénitude or Bollinger’s RD, then you know the magical combination of freshness allied with delicious flavours of brioche, cream, butter and toast that characterise late-disgorged wines.

But how does this kind of ageing alchemy happen? The answer lies in the lees.
