Nyetimber Premier Cuvee 'blanc de blancs', England 1996
Nyetimber
Vineyard rates as Britain's premier vineyard. It is the only one in
England equipped exclusively for the production of quality sparkling
wine. Fifty acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier, the
classic varieties of the champagne region are planted on the south-facing
slopes of greensand soil. The 1996 Premier Cuvee is produced from
100% Chardonnay, producing a smooth creamy sparkling wine with a lovely
dry finish. (2)
