Chapel Down, Tenterden, Kent (England, United Kingdom) Sparkling Wine “Grand Reserve” 2018 ($62)

This aged vintage bubbly spent three and a half years on the lees prior to disgorging, and that extra rest shows in the glass. Aromas of apple, quince, a little cardamom spice and toasted bread translate directly to palate flavors on a fleshy texture. This is long and expressive to the end, and it has a long, interesting life ahead. Delightful! Contains 60% Chardonnay, 28% Pinot Noir and 12% Pinot Meunier.
