Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This estate owes its name to Connetable Talbot, the English general & governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453. Deep Ruby color, with aromas of black fruits, herb, tobacco and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of plums and black currants with cacao and tobacco spice, on a well balanced frame. Fine tight tannins, long finish ending with fruit, earthy spice and cedar character. Nice! — 3 days ago

One of the best English sparkling ice ever tasted. With every penny. Light fruity, bubbly, delicious — 3 years ago

Waitrose. Delightful English white. Melon and peach, grassy and zesty freshness to it, slight acidity to cut through things but without lingering. — 5 years ago

Quite a nice #englishsparklingwine featuring the classic #chardonnay #pinotnoir and #pinotmeunier blend. Evolved balance between a racy lemony-style and a richer yeasty and brioche cuvée. Lovely 🍾 but for the same price seems like there are so many equally good if not better choices across the English Channel in Champagne.

Rich and multi-layered, this English sparkling shows all the hallmarks of the finest NV champagne with toasted brioche, baked apple and lemon zest cut along a lean, energetic profile that’s incredibly enjoyable. Medium bodied with moderate acidity, it finishes long and benefits from some time in the glass. Should age quite nicely for the next few years. Excellent stuff. — 5 years ago
