In March, we are exploring Champagne and Sparkling wines via our case of four fine wines, the tasting notes and the virtual talk/tasting which will be on Thursday 19th March with our Director Vicki and Laura Rhys, Master Sommelier and Head of Wine for Gusbourne.
We’ll be starting at 8pm with a quick overview to the case and then chatting with Laura to learn about Gusbourne, Kent vineyards and why this is such a great destination for Sparkling, as well as taste the Gusbourne Brut Reserve together. The session is via zoom and instructions will be sent via email prior to the event. It will be recorded and will be available to watch on replay for those who purchase.
WINES: First up, we have the delightful Brut Reserve English Sparkling from Gusbourne in Kent. This is a Vintage Sparkling, from the 2021 vintage; with almost six years of age it is tasting beautifully fresh, and typically English with succulent orchard and citrus fruits. It should be a great wine to enjoy, but also to explore the ever-better English wine scene. Next, a classic Champagne from Bernard Robert in the Cote des Bars area of the region. It’s toasty and rounded, and the perfect pick-me-up! We’re then off to Italy for a drier (Brut) style of Prosecco. This is a lovely, food-friendly Organic wine which is deliciously easy to drink, and very far from the mass-market examples. Last but not least is our Marc Bredif Sparkling Vouvray, which is made in the same style as Champagne but from the Loire Valley, and the apple-scented Chenin Blanc grape.
All four wines are extremely versatile, should you be planning some good meals over Easter!
