Gusbourne Estate Brut Blanc de Blancs (England) 2014

95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Wine Enthusiast): "Lemony brightness and silvery lightness are suggested on the nose with its lifted, airy citrus notes. The palate brings substance to the slender but concentrated palate, and the lemony overtones are now enriched with buttery, lemony brioche while the fine mousse underlines the harmonious balance between ripe lemon freshness, slender poise, statuesque backbone and subtle autolysis. This is pure and elegant. Alcohol 12%. (Nov 2019)"

93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in March 2019 under natural cork, Gusbourne's 2014 Brut Blanc de Blancs is showing very well indeed, unwinding to reveal aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, spring blossom, fresh bread, macadamia nuts and white currants. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and elegantly fleshy, it's seamless and complete, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and an elegant pinpoint mousse. Long and precise, this stands out as one of the finest offerings in its category. Drink: 2020-2033. (Apr 2021)"

93 points Falstaff: "Light greenish yellow with silver reflections. Elegant nose of brioche, ripe pear and candied citrus fruits. Full-bodied and silky on the palate, very complex with mineral notes and finely tuned acidity. Long finish, nutty and exotic. (10/28/20)"

92 points Decanter: "Bonfire smoky nose with a lovely Chardonnay fruit purity beneath. Harmonious, with a pleasant creamy texture and well defined finish. Drinking Window: 2020-2027. (Oct 2019)"
